These Homemade Eatmore Bars turn out just like the classic Canadian chocolate bar - chewy nut and oat filled bars with a hint of chocolate.

2 cups unsalted dry-roasted peanuts
1 1/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup smooth or crunchy peanut butter
1 cup golden corn syrup
1 3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips (make sure your chocolate chips are dairy free if you need your recipe to be dairy free and/or vegan)

Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit inside the bottom of a 9x13" baking pan (do this by tracing around the bottom of the pan onto the parchment, then cutting it out). Place the parchment in the bottom of the pan and spray the sides of the pan with oil.
Run 2 cups unsalted dry-roasted peanuts through a nut chopper, or pulse in a food processor and pulse until they are coarsely chopped. Alternatively, coarsely chop by hand. Pour into a large bowl and stir in 1 1/4 cup rolled oats. Set aside.
Mix 1/2 cup smooth or crunchy peanut butter and 1 cup golden corn syrup together in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the mixture begins to boil, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips until completely melted and incorporated.
Pour the peanut butter mixture over the peanuts and oats. Stir until well mixed. Spread mixture into the prepared baking pan. Cover with plastic and refrigerate until set, 1-2 hours. Remove from fridge and keep at room temperature to soften for 10 minutes before cutting. Cut into squares. Bars will keep in an airtight container for several days at room temperature, or several months in the freezer.
