Oatmeal Fudge Bars are a delicious combination of an oatmeal cookie with a fudgy center. This will quickly become a family favorite.
This past weekend I went on a quick Mother’s Day trip with my sister and mom. We went to Asheville, North Carolina and it was beautiful! For the past three years we have been trying to plan a girls trip and now that I am living closer to everyone, we were able to get it together and go. The first day we just walked around the downtown area that had several cute, eclectic shops and of course went to lunch and dinner. The next day we toured the Biltmore house which was absolutely gorgeous and a must see if you visit Asheville.
On the drive home my sister and I were talking about food because that’s just how we roll. She told me about these amazing oatmeal fudge bars her friend brought to book club last month and of course I had to have the recipe. Her friend was nice enough to send it to me that night and I made them the next day. Oooooh my goodness, they are so so good. The perfect combination of an oatmeal cookie and a layer of fudge, pure deliciousness. Jay is out of town this week so I had to run them over to my neighbors before I ate them all. The next morning they told me the kids inhaled them before the bars even made it in the house.
For serious though, these bars are AHmazing and I will be making them again very soon. Enjoy!!

- Stir in oats.
- Spread 2/3 of cookie mixture into the pan.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine fudge ingredients until melted.

The best part about healthy dessert recipes, like these whole wheat oatmeal fudge bars, is that they still taste decadent and comforting, and my kids don t know the difference.
