Chocolate Oat Bark

This chocolate oat bark elevates a simple oat streusel into crispy, chocolate-rich clusters perfect for snacking or topping yogurt. Rich cocoa powder combined with melty chocolate chips provides deep chocolate flavor, while a whole stick of butter gives every bite an irresistible, brownie-batter taste.
