It's December 1st--a good time to kick of the holiday baking season. This year, my goal is to have a lot of different things made ahead. So, whenever that spur of the moment get together happens, I have something fun, festive and yummy to serve or bring with!
Today, I decided on Chocolate Revel Bars. With all the baking sales this time of year, the ingredients are all things you're likely to have on hand.
Cut, serve, and revel in your yummy creation (sorry, I couldn't resist!)...
And, the best part (besides the gooey, rich deliciousness) is that they can be frozen for at least a month to serve later. So, I cut two small rows from the bar pan that our family can enjoy this week. But, we have two gallon size baggies filled with these for later this month! If you are going to freeze, it's best to freeze them in large sections wrapped in foil. Then, when you need them, thaw & cut into bites.Chocolate Revel Bars
Batter
- 1 C butter (less 2T)
- 2 C brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 t vanilla
- 1 t baking soda
- 1 t salt
- 2 C AP flour
- 1/2 C whole wheat flour
- 3 cup quick cooking oats
Chocolate
- 12 oz. bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14oz. can sweetened condensed milk
- 2T (saved from the 1C)
Mix butter & brown sugar. Add eggs, vanilla, flour, soda & salt, and oatmeal. Mix well. Spread about 2/3 of the mixture into a bar/jelly roll pan.
Melt chips, condensed milk, and butter together (I just did this in the microwave--didn't even take 2 minutes).
Pour chocolate over the batter in pan. Dot with remaining oatmeal mixture. Bake for 25 minutes @ 350--don't overbake!!
Oh goodness! I forgot about these delicious treats! I love them, and am for sure going to keep this recipe of yours handy! :)
ReplyDeleteI have heard of these but have never tried them. Now that I know they can be frozen, I will have to give them a try. :) Thanks for linking them up!
ReplyDeleteHaha, cool! I just made these recently too. When I saw the thumbnail on Somewhat Simple I was like "I don't remember posting these". They're so yummy!

Oh my - love look absolutely delightful! Thank you for linking them to This Week's Cravings ~hope you'll join us next week too!
ReplyDeleteWow! These look like heaven!
ReplyDeleteI always freeze my fresh cookie dough into ready to bake balls. I bake the frozen balls as if they were fresh. I like this because I only bake 3 or 4 cookies at a time and they are always fresh and if I am in a pickle and need to take something with me, I can always take cookies.
ReplyDeleteOooh... these look SO GOOD! I really need to make these :)
