1/2 cup sugar-free reduced-fat peanut butter
1/2 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips, divided
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup canola oil, divided
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup finely chopped strawberries

PREPARATION:

  1. Place 12-inch skillet over medium high heat until hot. Add oatmeal; cook and stir 6 minutes or until lightly brown and fragrant. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. Mix peanut butter, 5 tablespoons chocolate chips, 2-1/2 tablespoons oil, sugar and cinnamon in skillet. Heat and stir until well blended and thoroughly melted. Remove from heat; add oats and stir until well blended. Spoon into 9X9X2-inch baking pan and using rubber spatula, press down firmly to make crust. Place in freezer 15 minutes to cool quickly. Sprinkle strawberries evenly over all.
