Line a 8x8 pan with parchment paper and set aside.

Pour into prepared pan and pat down in an even layer (you may need to use your hands). Chill in fridge to set, at least 1 hour or longer.
When ready to serve, prepare the topping. Melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in double boiler over medium-low heat. Drizzle over oat bars and cut into squares. Store in airtight container in fridge and eat within 2 weeks.
Notes
If you want to do up the toppings a little more, add some flaky salt after drizzling the chocolate. Not necessary, but really delish if you want them a tad saltier!
