No-Bake Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Bars

These bars are the perfect balance of wholesome and sweet. The base is made with rolled oats, peanut butter and ground flax seed (a fiber and omega-3 boost!), and sweetened naturally with pure maple syrup. The top layer is melted dark chocolate with a touch of peanut butter for a satisfying dessert — no baking required.
