One of our goals of this blog was to gather together favorite family recipes. As I was looking through my recipes I found that most my favorites fell into three main categories – comfort food, breads and desserts! I have always had a sweet tooth and love baking – especially when it involves chocolate.
We have been making Oatmeal Fudge Bars for about fifteen years – probably my most requested recipe by the volleyball team girls. We took them to many a team dinner, weekend tournaments, and fun outings. The chocolate fudge between the oatmeal layers is so wonderful….it is especially good when you warm up your cookie for about 10 seconds in the microwave – just enough to make the chocolate melt just a little. YUM!
