These are excellent and easy to make. I ADD a layer of crunchy Adams peanut butter down before I add the chocolate mixture. YUMMMM

super delicious! very moist and chocolatey! the whole family loved it! i used a wider pan around. 10 1/2 x 15 1/2. this way the chocolate mixture and the oats mixture will spread a bit thinner making the sweetness much acceptable for those who complained about the richness of the recipe. i baked it for 20 minutes, let it cool in the pan. slicing it wasn't difficult at all. just make sure that it is cool enough.that's the trick! :-) happy baking and enjoy eating!

These are so delicious! I use a larger pan because it's easier to spread them. I love the fudge center. These are always a favorite at any event.

These are delicious - a big hit here at home. I didn't have semi sweet chocolate chips only milk chocolate so that is what i used and I thought it might turn out to sweet but it did not. Its perfect. Too good cause you are tempted to eat more then one.

Great recipe. I would definitely recommend reducing the oats to 3 cups to keep it moist. I also made mine on a cookie sheet/jelly roll pan to make them thinner. It's a VERY rich recipe, and the thinner bars seemed to be just right. Any thicker and it would have been too much.

Delicious!!! Only thing I changed was to leave out the nuts for we don't like them. At first I worried that the dough was too think, but it was perfect. Some reviews have said the bars are too rich, thick, and sweet. Of couse they are--look at the ingredients!! They ARE rich and thick and DELICIOUS!!!!! :) I had to cut into a corner well before they were cool for the smell was just too good). Thanks for the recipe!!!!!!!!!!

This is the best bar cookie I've ever had. I didn't have butter so I used butter flavored Crisco and it still turned out chewy and good!! I didn't put in nuts cause kids don't like them. Next time I'll use real butter and I'm sure it will be even better. Thanks for recipe:)

I found this recipe origanally in a Taste of Home cookbook belonging to my mother. The taste of home version called for only 3 cups of quick cooking oats and called to be baked in a 10x15" baking pan. With this change the cookies come out soft and chewy. Please note that these cookies are REALLY sweet.

Very good! I brought them into work and they were devoured! One of the comments were "They're like date squares... but with CHOCOLATE!" -said with excitement. I have also been asked for the recipe. The only thing I would do differently I think, is bake them in a bigger pan. They are rich and were thick. Next time I will use my 10" x 14"? 15" glass dish instead. Definitely going to make them for a bake sale this summer.
