TWD- Chocolate Oatmeal Almost Candy Bars

Have to make this quick as the baby is starting to cry upstairs. This week's recipe was for yummy oatmeal, chocolate bars. I left out the peanuts since I forgot to get them when I went to the store and it was raining cats and dogs today. Crazy.
The base is an oatmeal cookie-type crust, topped with a thick fudgy layer, which I topped with almonds. The oatmeal layer is scattered across the top.
I think I underbaked mine-the bottom layer was a little gooey.
We ate these chilled as suggested in the book- I like the chocolate fudgy layer more firm that way. These are definitely rich and sweet- the cure to any sweet tooth! Go here for the recipe!

  1. Awwwwh....sweet baby.

    I omitted the raisins from mine, but added peanut butter chips to the topping.

  2. I bet underbaked was great--I didn't like the crunchy topping as much as the chewy base anyway. These look good:)

  6. These were good! Almonds would be a perfect sub for the peanuts. Yours look golden brown and lovely.

  8. I think that a slightly gooey bottom layer is nice - I need to try one of the chilled bars soon.

  10. I always leave things a little under-baked, I love the resulting gooey-ness. Maybe I should just save me some effort, and eat the batter? Lol. They sound delicious!
