Step 4
Line an 8×8 dish with plastic wrap, I used two layers for extra strength.
Step 5
Place ingredients into dish and spread evenly while pressing down firmly to form a flat even top. I added another layer of plastic wrap on top and used a narrow metal spatula to help press down the mixture firmly and evenly.
Step 6
Once the bars are pressed evenly into the dish, add the
Mini Chocolate Chips (85 g)
on top, spread evenly and repeat process using spatula to firmly press chips into nut and oat bars.

Refrigerate 1-2 hours before cutting to get cleaner cuts, or add to freezer for 30 minutes to speed up process. Once cut, I wrapped each of mine individually so they were ready to grab and take with me for a great energy snack!
