These simple no-bake oatmeal fudge bars require only a few ingredients and are easy to make. Featuring an oatmeal base and a rich dark chocolate fudge filling, they are frozen until firm and then thawed slightly before enjoying.
1. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix together the oatmeal base ingredients (rolled oats, nut butter, maple syrup, water, cinnamon) until well combined.
3. Spread half of the oatmeal mixture into the bottom of the pan, pressing it down firmly to completely cover the bottom.
4. To a small microwave-safe bowl, add the fudge ingredients (dark chocolate chips, coconut oil, vanilla, salt) and heat in 30-second increments until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
5. Pour the melted chocolate over the oatmeal base.
6. Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the chocolate and press it slightly into the chocolate.
7. Freeze for 3-4 hours or until completely firm.
8. Before biting into the bars, let them thaw out for a few minutes. Enjoy!
