Line a 8x8-inch pan with parchment or foil, leaving it to hang over two opposite edges (to use as handles to lift out and cut easier).
Add the butter and/or coconut oil, honey, and vanilla to a large saucepan and melt together over medium heat. Mix in the oats, flax, and salt and cook, stirring constantly for about another minute. Remove from heat.
Press 1/2 to 2/3 of the mixture in the bottom of the prepared pan (it will be a thin crust), reserving 1/3-1/2 for the topping.
Cook the chocolate and nut butter together in a small saucepan over low heat until melted (or microwave 1 minute in a glass bowl). Spread evenly over prepared oatmeal crust.
Crumble the reserved oatmeal mixture over the top of the chocolate layer and press it lightly. Optional: Drizzle with melted chocolate chips.
Place the pan in the fridge, covered, for a couple hours until firm before cutting into 36 small bars.
Store in the refrigerator for about a week (they also freeze wonderfully for up to 6 months). Note: you can keep them at room temperature for a couple hours before they get to soft and need to go back to the fridge.

*Use only nut butters with the nut and salt as ingredients.
