    \n
  1. Step 1: Prep Pan and Melt Butter:\u00a0<\/strong>Grease a 9\u00d79 inch square pan. Melt 1 cup butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.<\/li>\n
  2. Step 2: Make Oat Mixture:\u00a0<\/strong>Stir the 1\/2 cup packed brown sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the melted butter. Mix in the 3 cups quick cooking oats. Cook over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the ingredients are well blended.<\/li>\n
  3. Step 3: Form Crust and Reserve Topping:\u00a0<\/strong>Press half of the oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Reserve the other half for the topping.<\/li>\n
  4. Step 4: Make Chocolate Filling:\u00a0<\/strong>Meanwhile, melt the 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips and 1\/2 cup peanut butter in a small heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth.<\/li>\n
  5. Step 5: Layer and Chill:\u00a0<\/strong>Pour the chocolate mixture over the crust in the pan, and spread evenly with a knife or the back of a spoon.2 Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the chocolate layer, pressing in gently.3 Cover the pan and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours or overnight until set.<\/li>\n
  6. Step 6: Cut and Serve:\u00a0<\/strong>Bring the bars to room temperature before cutting them into squares.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
