Kevin and Jenny got me this cookbook at my request for my birthday. It didn’t get published until after my birthday so it was about mid-May or so before I got it, but I still can’t believe it’s taken me this long to make one of Averie’s recipes.
The McHusband and I went to dinner with Shawn, Vanessa, Heather, and Bruce on Saturday and you know I love an opportunity to use my friends as guinea pigs. It was sort of a last-minute decision, but luckily I had everything I needed to make these bars.
I put chocolate chips on only half the bars so the McHusband wouldn’t say I ruined these with chocolate.
The bottom layer is made from old-fashioned oats, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and white chocolate chips. It seemed like the general consensus was that the oats were unexpected and people needed to warm up to them.
I didn’t mind the oats and thought the bars were generally pretty good. VERY peanut butter-y.
These had a little bit of everything going on in the texture department. A little harder and chewier on the bottom, then pretty soft in the middle, and then the topmost layer had just a touch of crackle to it.
I liked that these were super easy to make, but they weren’t my favorite bars ever. That’s okay though; there are plenty more recipes in the book that I’m looking forward to making to see if they’re my favorite.
It’s a tough job but someone’s gotta do it.
