No-Bake Chocolate Oat Bars

I found this No-Bake Chocolate Oat Bars recipe on MoneySavingMom.com.

It's super easy to make, and really delicious - if you like coconut.  I made this for a recent get-together at Nadia's house and there were a lot of leftovers, primarily because it had coconut in it.

I actually like coconut (and so do my kids, who devoured the batch I made them), so if you don't like coconut you can easily leave it out (or perhaps next time I'll make this recipe, which has no coconut).
