Recipe Comments and Reviews Sort by: Reviews General Comments View All » Rating I didn't grease the pan ~ big oops! They were impossible to get out, but they were yummy! It is hard to judge when they are cooked enough. A tad sweet too, but SO good! I'll definitely make again. Posted March 04, 2013 by Linda Rating I made these for an office lunch meeting and received rave reviews. They're easy to make and taste great. The brownie center is an added bonus! Just for the record, you can NEVER have too much buttery taste - as long as it's REAL butter! Posted October 30, 2012 by Melody I. Rating I thought there was way too much butter in this recipe. We could barely taste the chocolate layer because it was over-taken by the taste of butter. Posted January 22, 2012 by Lacey Rating I had a craving for chocolate bars, and this hit the spot! Very rich and chewy, I will definetly make these again Posted October 04, 2011 by Megan Rating I've made this time and time again and it's a big hit. Even sent a batch to hubby's office and they loved it too! Posted October 04, 2011 by Marissa Rating Just made this , and they were a huge hit at my office. I also sent them to my son in a college care package, and they mailed beautifully. Posted October 04, 2011 by CJ Rating Took this into work - and people found ways to stop by my desk all day. Also, keeps well for about a week. Just pop them in the microwave to soften them up. Posted November 14, 2010 by Rachel G. Rating The recipe was tasty, but I thought it was high in calories for the small peice. I did need to bake it an additional 15 minutes than what the recipe called for. The buttery taste of the oatmeal crust was good, and the brownie center was a nice surprise. I'd make these again for a special occasion. Posted August 09, 2010 by Jaime Rating I followed the instructions, but thought the brownie part was underdone, so we just ate the edges. But I will try this one again because they were very good. I thought the flavor reminded me of E.L. Fudge cookies, so if you like those, you'd like these. Posted August 04, 2010 by Brooke Rating This dessert was so chocolaty and gooey, it is very hard to resist! I'll definitely be making it again for friends and family. Posted August 04, 2010 by Alix Rating I made this recipe after reading Becky's blog in July. My family LOVED them! These bars are quick to make and, believe me, I will be making them many times in the weeks ahead! Posted July 20, 2010 by Victoria Rating When I made these I neglected to write down the eggs so I ended up making them without eggs adding more water to get the consistency I needed. Even without the eggs, these were very, very good. They're easy to make, quick to bake and very tasty. The center was nice and fudgy. The edges weren't hard but soft and chewy. When I make them again, and I will surely make them again, I won't add eggs and just do the extra water. I really didn't miss them at all. For the record, the reason I accidently omitted writing down the eggs is a fault with the website. Because the words, "2 LAND O LAKES® All-Natural Eggs" are a link, and the colour is a light and 'eggs' is the last word, my eyes just ignored that line somehow. I didn't even realise I'd erroneously omitted them until I looked at the post on the buzz blog. Anyway, these definitely have found a place in my recipe box.
