Perfect for colder weather! ¼ tsp salt – a touch of salt helps to balance out the sweetness 1 cup chocolate chips – you can use milk, semi-sweet or dark chocolate in this recipe ¾ cup crunchy peanut butter – the little bits of peanuts add a nice crunch. Any kind of nut butter can work if there is a peanut allergy.

Storing and freezing chocolate oatmeal bars
I like to eat these bars right out of the fridge. You can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-week, or on the counter for up to 5-days. If you want to freeze them, put them in a freezer bag and store them for up to 3-months. Thaw before serving.
