A super delicious no-bake dessert – these chocolate fudge oat bars are the perfect treat to make on a hot summer day when you’re craving something sweet, but don’t fancy ice cream.

Chocolate Fudge Oat Bars

I do love a good no-bake recipe, especially during summer when it’s too hot to turn the oven on. The last thing you want to do on a scorching hot day is to add even more heat by turning on the oven.

These no-bake chocolate fudge oat bars are the perfect, no fuss, quick and easy treat that takes no time to prepare. Meaning you can spend more time out in the sun taking advantage of the lovely weather while it lasts. Because let’s face it, UK isn’t exactly known for its long, perfect summers. 

Chocolate Fudge Oat Bars

This is yet another recipe of mine that features tahini. I just can’t get enough of the stuff. I loved it way before it ever became cool and trendy on social media. I literally grew up eating it in desserts, condiments, but more often for breakfast. It’s such a versatile and nutritious ingredient. You can expect to see a lot more tahini recipes from me in the future because I will never grow bored of it nor will I stop experimenting and creating new recipes with it! 

This recipe is pretty basic and only calls for a handful of ingredients. All you need it two bowls – one for the oat mixture and another for the chocolate tahini centre. It’s literally a case of mixing stuff in a bowl and refrigerating it to set. It’s a real fail proof recipe that anyone can make. Even those with zero cooking and/or dessert making experience. It’s also a fun one to get the kids involved with 😀
