Fast, easy, yummy! Have been making this recipie since I was twelve. Lost it for a while and was thrilled to find it here!!!

They were good, but not as good as Foley's! A little not sweet enough and quite crumbly.

Absolutely love these! I make them as muffins with lots of chocolate chips in them!

Holy camoly - these are the best squares I've ever had. I made them for a family gathering (and my family is huge!) every single aunt, my sisters, and my grandmothers got the recipe from me. We had a huge variety of squares and they were the only ones that got completely eaten.

I love it!

OH MY GOSH - these were an INSTANT family favorite for all 8 of us. Hubby wasn't home and I litrerally grabbed the last two (from a tripled batch) out of the mouths of two of my children so he could have the experience when he got home. My changes due to lacking some ingredients and I think I will always do it this way as they were absolutly perfect -- used mozza instead of cheddar. Instead of minced garlic we used a garlic/herb mix with the melted butter to baste on at the end. It's one that is a premade mix for garlic bread so it is garlic salt - parsley - Parmesan, so it would be easy to whip up from scratch also. It was amazing. I would absolutly NOT skip the basting of the butter/garlic - I think it's what made them so fantastic! And - butter. My mother always told me margarine will always work instead but i've really come to believe she was saying this only to save money and it's really not true. Some things - many things - have just got to be butter.

To who said refrigerate them and cut out sugar. They don't need to be refrigerated if made correctly. I suspect cutting the sugar down may have caused them to not set up properly - the proportions are as they are because these are a candy based "cookie" without the correct measurements - they will fail. Also - the oatmeal does not need to be cooked. Either quick oats or slow oats. Quick oats do work better but neither needs to be cooked. I'm suspecting adding cooked oats would also cause there to be too much moisture which would affect the candy base from setting properly.
