Easy No-Bake Chocolate Bars for my Respectful Little Cougar!

My little man came home with THREE cougar cards in one day explaining he was caught being RESPECTFUL, and I was one proud momma!!!

I'm not a fan of rewarding good behavior, but I do like to celebrate accomplishments and hard work, so I picked up his best buds from school for a little afternoon fun!

My intentions were making chocolate bars with his friends, but Top Gun ate all the chocolate chips the night before, not realizing they were a key ingredient.

After a trip to the grocery, it was on like a chicken bone!

Easy Peasy 

Healthy Ingredients (for the most part, if you don't buy cheap chocolate chips like I did)

No bake

DELICIOUS

Ingredients

	1 cup peanut butter
	2/3 cup honey
	1/2 cup coconut oil (no substitutes, this is what gives its creamy texture and flavor)
	2 cups oats (not instant)
	1 1/4 cups mini chocolate chips
	3/4 cup dried cranberries

 I used craisins instead of cranberries because that's what I had in my pantry!

Directions

1

 In a medium sized saucepan, melt together (I just mixed it in a bowl) peanut butter, honey and coconut oil.
Remove from heat and add oats, chocolate chips and dried cranberries. Stir until combined and chocolate chips are melted.

2

 Spread into pan. Refrigerate until hardened, about an hour. Store in refrigerator.

My favorite thing about this recipe is the fact that it doesn't have any raw eggs, the kiddos can lick the spoon and preparing bowl until their little hearts are content!!!

Enjoy The Journey!
