Four stars for the original, FIVE for this recipe with the following modifications: - butter instead of oil (yum, why wouldn't you?) - four minutes extra in the oven - milk chocolate melted on top - half an hour in the freezer before cutting

Yum! I like using oats in cookies and squares, and these were great! I omitted the nuts (didn't have any), but otherwise pretty much followed the recipe. I have made two batches, and both turned out well. I used foil to line the pan (makes for easy removal of squares), but remember to grease/spray the foil! Otherwise, as in my second batch, the squares will REALLY stick to the foil. Also, I didn't bother melting the chocolate chips separately: I sprinkled them on the top of the squares when there was two or three minutes left in the baking time and then smoothed the chocolate evenly with a knife. Stick them in the fridge awhile, cut, eat! Delicious! Thanks, Josh!

Yummy!! and so easy. I have a similar recipe that uses graham crackers as the base, these were chewy and delicious. Competition for the other recipe for sure..can't stop eating them, so make a lot..Thanks for the recipe

It took me a while to warm up to this recipe. I had no idea if it was done when I took it out of the oven and after it had come to room temperature, it was still falling apart and messy. However, I put it in the fridge until the chocolate set really well then pulled the entire bar out (I tin-foiled the pan and buttered the tin-foil) and cut it while it was still solid. After a night at room temp. these bars are wonderfully chewy and absolutely beautiful! Next time I need a sweet for a party, this will be the recipe I use.

Chewy throughout with a thin "syrup glaze" on the bottom. It is sticky and chewy like a soft toffee should be. Finely chopped walnuts add that extra flavor to the dessert. [My review is on the Highland Toffee recipe made with salted butter (or original I Can't Believe It's Not Butter) and without the 1/2 tsp salt. The butter, as opposed to the oil, gives the dessert an authentic toffee flavor.]

These were yummy. I made them with butter, and then to combat the stickiness, I flipped them over (the bottoms were the sticky part) and put the chocolate on that way :) Refridgerate it and then spray your knife with a cooking spray and it'll cut up easily. Also, I cooked 2 batches, 1 with salt (and salted butter) and 1 without the salt (still using salted butter) and the one without the salt was much better. So I'd omit that from the recipe as well :)

Very tasty but almost impossible to remove from the pan. My sister and I broke them into chunks and dipped them in chocolate to make them tastier and prettier!

I LOVE toffee. I have made at least 5 different toffee recipes. This was not among my favorites. I love oatmeal too, so I thought this recipe had potential. Sadly, to me it just came out too chewy and did not have the toffee flavor I sought.

Yummy! Like other reviewers i sprinkled the chocolate chips on for the last few minutes of baking. I think I needed to bake mine longer, necause the middle ones were pretty chewy and coming apart, but the oustide ones stayed together well. I lined the pan with greased foil and had no trouble getting them out.
