How to Make Chocolate Raisin Oat Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter over medium heat.
- Stir in 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add 3 cups (375g) rolled oats and mix thoroughly.
- Cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is well blended and slightly thickened.
- Press half of the oat mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Set aside the remaining oat mixture for the topping.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup (150g) chocolate-covered raisins and 1/2 cup (120g) creamy peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate-raisin-peanut butter mixture evenly over the oat crust.
- Crumble the reserved oat mixture over the chocolate layer and gently press down.
- Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the bars to set completely.
- Bring to room temperature before cutting into squares and serving.
