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!
Mix together:
4 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 cup melted butter
1 tsp vanilla
Pinch of salt
Add:
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
Press mixture in an ungreased jelly roll pan. Bake for 15 minutes at 350°F.
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.
Allow the bars to cool and then cut into pieces…
a big stack of crunchy goodness!
