A delightful dessert combining the flavors of chocolate, peanut butter, and oatmeal for a chewy and satisfying treat.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the canola oil, light brown sugar, and light corn syrup until well mixed.
Mix until the sugar is dissolved for a smooth texture.
Add the rolled oatmeal to the wet mixture and stir until evenly combined.
Ensure all oats are coated for even baking.
Press the mixture into a greased 13x9-inch baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Use the back of a spoon to press down firmly for a compact base.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
Keep an eye on it to prevent over-baking.
Allow the baked base to cool completely before proceeding.
Cooling prevents the topping from melting into the base.
In a saucepan, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter over low heat, stirring until smooth.
Stir constantly to avoid burning the chocolate.
Spread the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture evenly over the cooled base.
Work quickly to spread before the mixture sets.
Allow the topping to set before cutting into squares.
For clean cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe it between cuts.
