Choc Caramel Oatmeal Slice

Let this choc caramel oatmeal slice satisfy your sweet tooth, ease your snacking woes and fix all your lie problems.

I am relatively consistent with planning weekly meals but I rarely pencil in snacks. For the simple reason that I don't snack between my main meals. Except for the fact that sometimes I do. It's not everyday that I'm strong enough to push through the 3pm slump. My energy dips and my brain becomes foggy, and after hours of meetings I just can't concentrate anymore and I need a pick-me-up. So due to the lack of snack prep, I tend to turn to whatever is available, which more often than not, isn't very satisfying.

My sister on the other hand is a meal prep wizard and not only prepares her lunches and dinners for the week ahead, but a selection of healthy snacks to choose from. This week I thought I'd contribute to the snack options in the fridge and put together a slice that hits the spot: sweet but satisfying.

This choc caramel oatmeal slice is a bit of a throw together recipe; you'll likely have most of these ingredients in the fridge. It is a very forgiving recipe. You can be creative and use what you have available and I'm sure it'll taste equally as good.
