This classic, retro Oh Henry Bars recipe couldn’t be simpler! It’s SUCH a crowd pleaser and is super easy to whip up last-minute! With a mix of oats, chocolate, and peanut butter, these taste just like the original Oh Henry Candy Bars. (See more easy dessert recipes here!)

These Oh Henry Bars are SO simple to make!
These Oh Henry Bars are my go-to recipe when we remember practically last-minute that we are supposed to bring snacks for a get-together (which happens far more often than I’d like to admit!).
If you’re looking for a simple dessert recipe that comes together in no time at all, and uses basic ingredients you probably already have on hand, this is the recipe for you!
Just like the classic Oh Henry Candy Bar, this dessert is SO delicious with a buttery, chewy base of brown sugar and oats…and then topped with melted chocolate and peanut butter. (Does it get any better???)
These yummy bars freeze well and are gluten-free as long as you use the right kind of oats.
One pan serves a crowd, which makes this a frugal recipe in my book!
Ingredients for Oh Henry Candy Bars
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup corn syrup (substitute honey or maple syrup if you prefer)
- 4 cups quick oats
- 1 cup chocolate chips, melted
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
How to Make Oh Henry Chocolate Bars
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
2. In a large bowl, mix together brown sugar, melted butter, corn syrup, and quick oats.
3. Press mixture firmly into a buttered 9×13 pan.
4. In a microwave-safe bowl, mix melted chocolate chips and peanut butter together in 30-second intervals (stirring between each interval) until fully melted.
5. Spread chocolate mixture on top of oat mixture.
6. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
7. Cool completely before cutting into bars (Once they are almost cool, I often stick them in the fridge for an hour or so to help them firm up faster).
8. Enjoy immediately or freeze for later.
Refrigerate leftovers.
