Couldn't get this to set up, and I was at the stove a long while stirring this. The picture doesn't really represent what this recipe looks like, imo. Though the flavor is ok, I won't be making it again.

My co-workers couldn't get enough! I brought breakfast and this was the first to go.

These bars were delicious! They were quite sweet and I even reduced the sugar! I highly recommend this recipe.

Just like the no bake cookies I ate as a kid...even better in bar form. Delicious!

Imagine a bowl with equal amounts of oatmeal and sugar poured in, and just a tad of peanut butter. That is what this dessert tastes like to me, which shouldn't have been a surprise given the ratio of ingredients called for in this recipe. I even cut the sugar down to 1 cup, but it was still so terribly sweet.

these are great as long as you boil long enough for the sugar to compleatly disolve otherwise they will be gooy and not set properly.

I think I made too many tweaks and substitutions on my first attempt at this one. It did harden for me but seems too dry and crumbly. If I had used evaporated milk, a little more sugar (I cut it too much from what the recipe called for), and a little less of the oats, I think it would be perfect. Definitely worth trying again with the correct ingredients. Good recipe but I messed it up...still edible though, it's chocolate! I might put a caramel topping of some sort on top to try to salvage it. I also want to try a version with flaked coconut instead of peanut butter, and almond extract instead of (or in addition to) vanilla. Maybe chopped dried cherries too...

I brought this to work, and people commented on how sweet it was. I will cut the sugar in half the next time I make this.

Made exactly as written with perfect results! The "Bar" idea makes these even quicker than typical no-bakes and in my opinion, they taste identical! Thanks for the recipe!
