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.
