Chocolate Hazelnut Squares

• 2- 1/2 cups Old Fashioned Oats
• 1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips Or More If Desired For Topping
• 1 teaspoon Chia Seeds
• 1/2 cups Chopped Hazelnuts, Divided Use
• 23 cups Peanut Butter
• 1/2 cups Honey

2. Set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil.
4. Microwave until melted, stirring every 20 seconds so the oil does not burn.
5. Remove from microwave and pour peanut butter mixture into oat mixture.
6. Stir thoroughly until combined.
7. The chocolate chips will melt and create a chocolate mixture.
8. Pour mixture into an 8x8 baking pan and press down using a spatula.
