Four stars for the original, FIVE for this recipe with the following modifications: - butter instead of oil (yum, why wouldn't you?) - four minutes extra in the oven - milk chocolate melted on top - half an hour in the freezer before cutting - 22 Oct 2006 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Yum! I like using oats in cookies and squares, and these were great! I omitted the nuts (didn't have any), but otherwise pretty much followed the recipe. I have made two batches, and both turned out well. I used foil to line the pan (makes for easy removal of squares), but remember to grease/spray the foil! Otherwise, as in my second batch, the squares will REALLY stick to the foil. Also, I didn't bother melting the chocolate chips separately: I sprinkled them on the top of the squares when there was two or three minutes left in the baking time and then smoothed the chocolate evenly with a knife. Stick them in the fridge awhile, cut, eat! Delicious! Thanks, Josh! - 26 Jan 2006 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
