These chewy bars took first place in the bar cookie division at our country fair in 2001. Topping them with a coconut-pecan frosting is a tasty twist. Ingredients:
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 cups old-fashioned oats |
1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 cup cold butter |
1 can (15 ounces) coconut-pecan frosting |
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar and baking soda. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside 2 cups for topping. Press remaining crumb mixture into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until set.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat frosting for 30-45 seconds or until softened; stir well. Spread over crust. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and pecans. Top with reserved crumb mixture.
3. Bake for 14-18 minutes or until frosting is bubbly and top is golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack; cut into squares. Yield: 40 servings.
