Sometimes you need a little crunch with your chocolate!

I needed 6 dozen easy-to-serve treats over the weekend.  Since these bars are made in a jelly roll pan you get a lot of servings..how many…well that depends on how big you make the pieces!  If it’s a treat you, make the pieces big, of course.  But if you have to share with a crowd, make them smaller!
 
ingredients in bowl
Mix together:
4 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
Pinch of salt

Sprinkle 2 cups chocolate chips over the bars and return to the oven for 5 minutes.  Remove from the oven and spread the melted chocolate chips over the bars.

    Thank you Tonia for the “Bars” recipes. I can’t imagine why someone would have to steal your recipe. Unreal! Have a good weekend.

    I would LOVE these! I am a huge huge fan of butterscotch chips – especially in my oatmeal cookies! I’d imagine these taste a little bit similar but much more yummy because of the chocolate!
