Chocolate covered peanut butter bars

 Line 8x8 pan with plastic wrap

Filling:

Cover

• 2/3 cup raisins with water

Heat 1 minute in microwave and let soak until raisins plump up

Grind to powder in food processor

• 2 cups regular (NOT steel cut) old fashioned oatmeal

Hand mix together in medium bowl

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1/4 c maple syrup

Then mix in ground oatmeal and plumped up raisins.

Pat into 8x8 pan.

Topping:

 

Mix together in small - medium microsafe bowl

• 4 T cocoa powder
• 2 T maple syrup
• 1 T butter or oil

Slowly add to minimize lumps

• 4 T milk (any kind)

Cook in 15-30 second bursts until a drop of topping forms a ball when dropped into cold water. Basically it's a fudge topping but less sweet.

Spread on top of filling. Let cool, then cut into squares. Can lift right out of pan with plastic wrap to cut if desired.

I added oatmeal as a filler and plumped up raisins for a better less gooey mouth feel. This is pretty easy to make and tasty.
