These cookie bars taste similar to a “no bake” cookie, minus the peanut butter and minus the somewhat off-putting texture of the no bake. Use the best quality chocolate that you can, and you will be glad you did! Good ingredients usually = good end-result. You can taste the difference with low end chocolate.
Begin by creaming together the brown sugar and butter. Add in egg and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
In a different bowl combine the dry ingredients. Add slowly to the wet ingredients and press into a parchment lined 9×13 inch pan. Set aside. Next, get 6oz of some decent chocolate. Melt it with the sweetened condensed milk and butter in a double boiler.
Once everything is melted and mixed well together, slowly pour the chocolate mixture over the cookie mixture in the pan.
Then pop it in the oven and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 12-18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. It will look something like this…
Once cooled, you can cut the pan up into bars or squares, whichever size you prefer. Store them in tupperware containers with leads to keep them fresh as long as possible. And viola! You have ready to eat on the go chocolate oatmeal bars. MMMmmmm!
