Healthy Scotcheroo Bars

These bars are silly easy and dangerously delicious!  Be careful as they are easy to devour in a couple of hours... er...days…

This recipe makes a large batch thus use an American size rectangle cake pan 13 x 9 x 2 inch (30 x 20 x 3 cm) – half the recipe for European size cake pans.  

Ingredients

• 3 cups of oats (blend - or buy oat flour)
• 2 cups of nut butter- almond butter, peanut butter, sunflower butter (if nut allergy)
• 1 cup of honey (maple syrup for vegans) 
• ½ cup of dark chocolate chips (80% or higher)

Directions

1.     Blend the oats into flour.

2.     Mix honey and peanut butter together and then mix in a big bowl with the oats.

3.     Press this mixture into a cake pan and put in the refrigerator

4.     Melt the dark chocolate chips in a glass bowl over a saucepan filled with hot water.

5.     Pour dark chocolate over the top of the oat mixture, refrigerate and voila!

These are my go to bars for a get-together as it makes a big batch and it is definitely a crowd pleaser! Enjoy! 

And as you start to ease off the sugar, and re-calibrate your taste buds and cravings.. you can also reduce the amount of honey to 1/2 cup to reduce the amount of sugar.
