I grew up calling these O'Harry bars for some reason. I was glad to find this recipe because the recipe I grew up with says to cook for 25 minutes until bubbling on the edges and a golden color. They have been a pain (literally and figuratively) to cut because they have always become horribly hard once they have cooled. Cutting the cooking time WAY back seems to do the trick and I did not have trouble cutting them into bars. Also, since we are attempting to cut out all the corn syrup (extremely difficult as it is in everything these days), I substitute 1 c. of brown sugar mixed with 1/4 c. of water (this is per 1 c. of corn syrup). It works just as well.

I'm sorry, I hate giving bad reviews but these are just not as good as what I've tried. Instead of being all goey, it kinda was like toasted oats..And it made 2 pans worth (which in my book is actually a plus but I had to double the chocolate topping.)

The crust did not set up again. Could be decent if a lot of the suggestions are taken into account.

This brings back memories from childhood. It was surprisingly hard to locate a recipe for these. Thanks so much for sharing!

I used to make this recipe when I was a kid and when my mom died the recipe was lost, when I found it on here I was so happy. It is just like I used to make and now it is my kids favorite, thanks,

These were pretty good, but not wonderful. I lined my pan with foil and sprayed the foil with Pam, it made for a much easier clean-up. If I make these again, I will reduce the butter to 2/3 cup as suggested by other reviewers.

definitely put in less butter (try 2/3c as someone suggested). bake the full 15 minutes and let cool completely. it was gooey but, besides the overwhelming butteryness, delicious.
