Peanuty-Chocolatey Oat Bars

My kids LOVED these. And my husband. And myself, of course. The original Pinterest recipe had 1/2 c honey and it really overpowered the other flavors. These are so easy I need to make them again! And again! :D Such a good snack packed with good nutrients. Makes one 8x10 pan.
