This recipe is a favorite of my mother, Dorothy Hill.

She made this for years and years.

A great mom and cook, her goal was to always make us happy.

I love her and want to share this with you, my Gather family.

 

Oh Henry Bars.


 

Ingredients:


Base:


2/3 cup butter


1 cup brown sugar


4 cups rolled oats


1/2 cup corn syrup


3 teaspoons vanilla


Pinch of salt


 


Icing:


1 cup chocolate chips


2/3 cup peanut butter


 


DIRECTIONS:


Base:


Cream butter and sugar. Add rolled oats, syrup, vanilla and salt. Blend well.


Press into a 9 by 13 inch pan.


Bake for 10 to 12 minutes at 375 degrees F. DO NOT OVERBAKE OR IT WILL TURN ROCK HARD!


Remove from oven and let cool.


Icing:


Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter together. Spread over cooled base.


Cut into squares. Keep in the fridge.


This is a GREAT treat!


Thanks to my mom and sister Diane for giving me this recipe.

We have chocolate bars in Canada called Oh Henry. They're nuts, caramel, and chocolate. These were a little different from what I expected, but they sound pretty good.

I envy your mother. My mother never cooked, and my son tells me that his girl friend will never have to compare herself to me, since I followed my mother's steps. Not that I'm proud of that. I really envy people who can cook!
Gwen P. Jan 2, 2008, 4:18pm EST

Seriously, sounds absolutely delectable!
