Ohmyheck people. These Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Bars are probably in my top three favorite bars! I wasn’t paying attention, and the original version said to “whisk together dry ingredients” so I did. Flour, soda, sugar and all. THEN I read the rest of the recipe – dang it! Anyhow, they didn’t turn out as they were supposed to but I didn’t give up. I tried them again yesterday afternoon and seriously, there has never been a bar that is such a soft, melty, gooey, chocolaty goodness. Try it for yourself (I adjusted the directions so it’s a little easier to follow), you will see!
