Yummo

Yummo, Yummo these are delish and out of this world with a chocoholics dream. I had a piece while still warm and it melted in your mouth, they are good cooled. I like them better when warm, so I warmed them up in the microwave for a few seconds just to soften the chocolate and it was to die for. The crumb mixture (oatmeal, walnuts, sugar and butter) can be used in pancakes, over ice cream, yogurt, apple crisp apple pie topping and whatever else you can think of using it for..

Great pick me up without the guilt

This is a great bar cookie without all the guilt because it has lots of oatmeal in it. I put dark chocolate morsels instead of milk for healthier version as well as reduce the butter to 1 stick. The cookies come out soft at first, then firm up and are nice and crispy. I bake them in a parchment lined cookie sheet so they are not too thick. I've made these over and over and serve them to my health conscious friends and we all love them!.

A great alternative to B'fast muffins

This recipe is great and very filling as an alternative to muffins or coffecake for b'fast. As my raisins were looking a little elderly, I substituted dried blueberries and cranberries to rave reviews from my children..
