These are so incredible!! I made them for a bridal shower and everyone devoured them. Even my husband who won't normally eat things with lots of butter raved about them. I'll definitely make these again, but with a few substitutions to make them a little less fattening.

A winner! The one thing that may not make it 5 stars, these are very rich (if you don't like that don't make them). My only change was to leave out the nuts. I was surprised with how nice these looked; they're the sort of thing you would bring to a bake sale, if you can sneak any out of the house :-p Fixes your chocolate & oatmeal cravings in one dessert.

Very good. Made them for husband to take to work. Even leaving out some ingredients because of the "assistance" of my 2 1/2 year old. They were still so yummy. My husband's coworkers raved about them. Thank you for the recipe.

Hands down the best cookie. I added choc. chips to the cookie layers and omitted the nuts in the fudge filling. Thank you for a wonderful recipe.

Made this recipe for my husband and mother in law, and they loved it. Seems like it would be easy to overbake these though, so be careful. I nixed the nuts and it was great without them. The bits of crunchy oatmeal on top is great paired with the fudgy filling.

I am a new cook but wanted to make an impression on in-laws that were coming over for dinner. These bars were such a hit! I made the recipe exactly as it said and had no problems. This is very yummy! If you do not have a sweet tooth, you won't want to eat too much. This is a keeper! Thanks Holly!

My mom made these from her recipe from the 1970's for Christmas this year. What a hit! She made hers in a jelly roll pan which makes a big difference. Once they're cut, keep them in a cookie tin separated by wax paper to keep them fresh as plastic containers sometime don't "agree" with chocolate/fudge type cookies. If your batch is DRY - YOU'VE OVERCOOKED THEM!!

These are great bars! I always make this recipe in a larger bar pan and I find that it turns out better than in a 9 x 13 pan.

I dont know what the hype is about. I ended up throwing away all but the 1 piece each my family tried. Too heavy. Just okay.

These were delicious. I took them to an outing and everyone loved them. I did make one mistake that ended up making them taste even better. I accidentally put about 1/4 cup of the sweetened condensed milk in the cookie layer part. It ended up making them very chewy and good. I'll probably make this mistake again!

This recipe is very original and delicious. I loved the fudge filling. I noticed, however, that the bars will not taste fresh for more than several days, so eat them in a hurry!

These are very rich and tasty bars. The oatmeal layer could probably be reduced by half for the 13x9 pan-- it was thick and a little dry. Perhaps next time I will add less oatmeal. Also, I sprinkled the walnuts on top instead of adding them to the chocolate, which made a prettier presentation. The chocolate layer is delicious. With a little tweaking this recipe can be very good.

These were a great change from the standard bar cookie. I have made them twice, but the second time I used a bar pan (I think it is 15 x 2). I poured the entire oatmeal mixture on the bottom and then topped it with all of the chocolate mixture. I think they were much prettier and easier to cut.
