To ensure your Cocoa Bliss No-Bake Chocolate Oat Fudge Bars are easy to remove from the pan, start by preparing your baking dish correctly. Use an 8x8-inch square pan for the best results. Line the bottom and sides of the pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the edges. This overhang will act as a handle, making it easier to lift the bars out once they have set. The parchment paper prevents sticking, ensuring that your fudge bars come out cleanly and maintain their shape.

Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

1/2 cup pure maple syrup or honey

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (or dairy-free chocolate chips)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional, for added texture)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.

    Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, unsweetened cocoa powder, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts (if using). Mix until well-combined.

      Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond butter, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until smooth and creamy.

        Mix Together: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated. The mixture should be sticky but manageable. If it's too dry, you can add a bit more almond butter or a splash of water to help it bind.

          Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

            Transfer to the Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Using a spatula or your hands (dampened to prevent sticking), press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan. Make sure it’s compacted well.

              Refrigerate: Cover the pan with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are firm.

                Slice and Serve: Once chilled and set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares or rectangles, as desired.

                  Enjoy & Store: Serve immediately or store the bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
