Revel Bars

Chewy, nutty and chocolate-y oatmeal bar.

INGREDIENTS

• 3/4 cup to 1 cup dark chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips
• 1/2 can of 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 /2 cup muscovado sugar or light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups rolled oats (old fashioned, traditional)
• 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts and cashew (or any nuts you prefer)

 

PROCEDURE

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line and grease an 8″ pan with aluminum foil.
2. In a double boiler over medium low heat, combine the chocolates and the condensed milk. Stir until the chocolates melt. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
3. In a bowl, cream butter and sugars, add egg and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
4. Add in flour, oatmeal, salt and nuts and mix just until combined. It will be sticky.
5. Reserve 1/2 cup of the batter and pour the rest to the prepared pan. Spread the batter evenly.
6. Pour the melted chocolate over the pan and top with nuts. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup of batter on top. This will not cover the entire pan just make sure that you distribute the batter evenly.
7. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely before slicing.

 

NOTES:

• You can use quick cooking oats or instant oats but I prefer to use rolled oats since I like the texture better.
• 25 minutes is all you need to have a chewy result, longer than this will result to a crunchy oatmeal bars.
