No-Bake Coconut Raisin Oat Crunch Bars

no-2Bbake-2Bcoco-2Braisin-2Boat-2Bcrunch-2Bbars-2B1

 

if you ask me, no-bake treats aren’t just for the summer months.
today is the coldest day i’ve seen in a while. highs in mid-50s. lows in mid-30s. (i’m not sure i’m ready for this yet.)
clearly, avoiding heating the kitchen with a warm oven isn’t the reason at hand for making these no-bake bars. when it comes down to it, they’re just easy and quick.

here are two of my favorite times to making these:
1. when i want something simple, sweet, and healthy(er) to offer to my son as an after school snack.
2. when i want an easy dessert to serve to dinner guests after spending a chunk of time making a big ol’ meal. (and they’re the perfectly-sized sweet ending to those extra-effort dinners.)
i have a very similar recipe in my book, in cookie form, that i make a lot too. but this bar version may have won me over… no need to even spoon out. just press into the pan and chill!
