OATMEAL PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP BARS

I don’t know what else to say except that oatmeal, chocolate chips, and peanut butter need to be a thing. In bar form.

These delicious oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chip bars are a cinch to throw together and even though I love me some cookies, sometimes I want to weep at the simple possibilities cookies-in-bar-form provide.

I love bar cookies. Love, love, love them. I love them.

Sorry to be so vague about it, but I really love them.
