INGREDIENTS

  • Crust and Topping

    • 1 1/2 cups flour
    • 1 cup rolled oats
    • 3/4 cup pecans
    • 3/4 cup white sugar
    • 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
    • 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

  • Filling

    • 🍫 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
    • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan with foil. Lightly coat with cooking spray.

2

For crust, pulse flour, oats, pecans, white sugar, coconut, brown sugar, and salt in a food processor until blended. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles wet sand.

3

Spoon three-fourths of oat mixture (about 4 1/2 cups) into the prepared pan. Press into an even layer. Transfer remaining one-fourth of mixture to a small bowl; using your hands, squeeze and rub mixture together until crumbly. Spread streusel on a rimmed baking sheet.

4

Bake both pans, stirring streusel halfway through, until streusel is golden, about 18 minutes. Remove streusel from oven. Bake crust until golden brown, about 12 minutes more.

5

Meanwhile, for filling, microwave chocolate chips and peanut butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl on High in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until mixture is melted and fully combined.

6

To assemble, pour chocolate mixture over baked crust. Sprinkle with streusel. Chill until set, 2 to 3 hours. Cut into 20 bars.
