So good. The only thing I changed was I melted about 1/3 cup creamy PB with the chocolate chips and then spread over the bars. The PB adds a little "extra" and pushes these over the top IMO! Read More

OMG! This was soooo bad! The taste was really funky and it had a real bad consistency...it did not hold together well at all! I followed this recipe to the T and it still came out bad. I will never make this again! Read More

Just discovered these this week when the teacher at my son's nursery school had them make a batch. (Testimony to how easy they are!) So sweet so good. Only difference was her recipe had her sprinkle the chocolate chips over the oat layer when it was still hot then go back a few minutes later with a spatula and spread them out. Fun to do and one less bowl to clean. As for the difficulty presenting: she refrigerated them then broke them into pieces sort of like almond bark. One bite and we stopped caring what the heck they looked like anyway. Read More

I love Oatsies. They taste great and they're not even that bad for you. I found if you use a 12 cup muffin pan and line with paper muffin cups it divides up perfectly with your 1/3C measuring cup. Read More

These bars are so so good. I have been looking for this childhood favorite for a while. Simple but DELISH!!! I just put the chips on the bars after taking them out of the oven instead of melting the chocolate separately. Read More

I made this recipe today and everyone loved it It's very rich and a little goes a long way. I'm a chocolate lover but I didn't like the taste of the chocolate chips on top. The oat layer is soooo delicious I could do without the chocolate. What!? Could this be possible that I can pass on the chocolate? Yep it's true that's how good the oat layer is. I plan on using this recipe again and again and maybe use chocolate frosting instead of the chocolate chips. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Read More

I love the taste of these and they are very easy / quick to make. My only issue: they do not hold their shape well. Great for eating at home but I couldn't give as a gift. Any suggestions on how to make them hold their shape would be appreciated!! I tried adding 1/2 cup of flour and 1 egg. This revised batch came out very well but did not quite have the rich flavor of the original recipe. Thank you for sharing this treat:) Read More

Very good. I made mine in greased muffin tins (made 16) and they came out beautifully. I overdid it on the chocolate chips - a little goes a long way - the oats are so good you don't want to overpower them. In fact I think you should be able to see the oats through the chocolate. Also just sprinkle them on when the first come out of the oven and spread (rather than melting them seperately) - it is so much easier! Read More
