About

The oatmeal gave top and bottom just the right crunch. The middle brownie was nice and moist. I didn't have nuts on hand so I used raisins. They were perfect little bits of sweet chewy goodness I'll tell you. In fact, I think nuts would make the bars too crunchy. Recipe from Betty Crocker.com
