2. Spread in Pan: Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray. Transfer the oat mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

3. Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the mixture is set.

4. Add Chocolate Chips: As soon as you remove the pan from the oven, sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot surface of the bars. The residual heat will help melt the chocolate chips, creating a smooth and luscious layer.

5. Spread Peanut Butter: Once the chocolate chips have melted slightly, use a spatula to spread the peanut butter evenly over the surface of the bars, creating a decadent topping that complements the rich chocolate flavor.

6. Cool and Cut: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares. This will ensure clean and neat slices without any crumbling. Use a sharp knife to cut the bars into your desired size and shape.

7. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the Mock Butterfinger Bars to a serving platter or individual plates, and indulge in their irresistible taste and texture. These bars are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for several days.
