Oatmeal Fudge Bars

Oatmeal fudge bars are a delicious combination of an oatmeal cookie with a fudgy, chocolate center. These are always a hit with family and friends. 

Oatmeal Fudge Bars are truly chewy, fudgy cookie goodness. I have a serious sweet tooth especially anything that involves chocolate like chocolate cherry cake or chocolate chip bundt cake.

Ingredients Needed: Oatmeal, flour, sugar, chocolate chips, brown sugar, butter, eggs, baking soda, vanilla and salt. 

How to make oatmeal fudge bars

• Start by preheating your oven. 
• Combine brown sugar and butter in a mixing bowl.
• Mix in eggs and vanilla.
• Stir in flour, baking soda and salt.
• Next, fold in the oatmeal to the mixture. 
• Spread 2/3 of the batter in a brownie pan. I like to line the pan with parchment paper so once the bars have cooled, you can easily lift them out and cut.

The Fudge

• To make the delicious chocolate center, add all of the fudge ingredients into a saucepan and cook until the chocolate has melted. Spread the mixture over the cookie batter in the pan. 
• Drop the remaining batter on top of the chocolate and bake for 25-30 minutes. 

Make sure you let them cool before cutting into squares. 

Recipe tips

• You can use quick or old fashioned oats for these bars but don’t use instant oatmeal. The instant oatmeal is too fine and doesn’t work well for baking.
• Line baking dish with either parchment paper or foil to make it easy to remove the bars and cut once they have cooled.
• Be sure to not over mix the cookie dough. 

These bars are AHmazing and I will be making them again very soon. Enjoy!!
