Tips and Tricks
- Use a microwave-safe bowl to melt the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. This will make it easier to combine the ingredients and will help prevent burning.
- When stirring in the oats and chocolate chips, use a spatula to fold everything together gently. This will help ensure that everything is evenly distributed and prevent the ingredients from breaking or crumbling.
- When pressing the mixture into the baking pan, make sure to press firmly to ensure that the bars will hold together. You can also use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed measuring cup to help press everything down evenly.
- To make it easier to cut the bars into squares, use a sharp knife and make sure to clean it between each cut.
