Chocolatey Oat Bars

I made these yesterday for a special treat. This is the original recipe  Aunt Barbs Chocolatey Squares.
The recipe that follows include the changes I made.

    1/2 cup water
    1/4 cup maple syrup
    2 tablespoons peanut butter
    2 tablespoons cocoa powder
    1/4 cup natural coconut,
    1/4 cup almonds pieces
    1/3 cup craisins
    1 1/2 cups whole oats 

1. Heat together water, maple syrup, peanut butter and cocoa powder and stir until combined. 

2. Add coconut, nuts, crasians and oatmeal.  Mix together and pat into an 8x8 pan. 

3. This is great served as a granola bar for an after school snack. For a special treat add chocolate chips to the oat mixture or melt chocolate chips and frost the oat bars.
