I have a small weakness for anything with chocolate or basically anything that resembles chocolate chip cookies. Ok, maybe not a small weakness but let’s say a moderate weakness. I like to make cookies once a week, and sometimes it’s nice to change it up a little. These Chocolate Oatmeal Bars are like making one big cookie in a pan. I love how these bars are a layer of cookie with the chocolate cooked on top. The fact that they were gone in a flash was a pretty good indicator that my family loved them!
If you want a treat that is not only easy to make but delicious, then you must give these a try.

I want to try this recipe but it doesn’t say what size condensed milk should be used. Hopefully you can yelp.
Why wont the recipe print. I signed in and did every thing but like most sites they won’t print. Have to copy and write and then print.
Hi,
I’m not sure why its not printing for you. I opened the recipe up in another tab and clicked print and the recipe card opens up so I can print it. Is it not opening up in another tab for you at all? What browser at you using? Not sure if that would have anything to do with it or not. I’m sorry that you keep having that problem. I’m sure it’s so frustrating. But thanks for letting us know so we can look into it.
What kind of flour should I use? Does whole wheat flour work?
