]]> O.k..if you remember these you are old. :) If you remember buying them for 15 cents at the local store that carried everything from pickles in a barrel to PDQ and Bosco then you are as old as me.

  This is a bar cookie that I really don’t see much anymore. It is wonderful…close to the candy bar in flavor AND would be perfect for the Blog Bake Sale. You ARE doing that right? You HAVE gotten involved?

  Good. I knew you would.

Oh Henry! Bars

4 c oats

1/2 c sugar

1 c brown sugar

1 c melted unsalted butter

6 oz chocolate chips

1 c peanut butter (crunchy is best)

Preheat oven to 350

Grease 13 x 9 ” pan. Mix oats, sugar and brown sugar in large bowl. Pour melted butter over and mix well. Press into pan firmly and bake for 20 minutes.

Cool.

  Melt chocolate and peanut butter together stirring to blend. Spread over cooled cookie base. Chill 1 hour…IF you can wait that long. Cut into 2 dozen bars.

I have computer at home again AND that means that as soon as I get my photo program loaded I can do pictures again…YAY!!!!!!!

 Seriously, do try to remember about the Nation wide bake sale..It is such an excellent cause.

]]> This oatmeal cake is as homey and comforting as it gets. My Aunt Lillian made it often and, while you probably would not find it in a Parisian cafe oatmeal cake really does taste like what a quilt, a good book and a roaring fire would taste like if you could taste that feeling. :) . I believe that I bake this in a 9″ square pan.

  Oatmeal cake is not too too sweet…Just right with a cup of cold milk or a cup of coffee…

  1 1/4 c boiling water

1 c quick oatmeal

Pour water over oatmeal and let stand for 20 minutes.

 Add:

1 c brown sugar-1 c white sugar (I think this means which ever you have on hand, I do not remember putting in two cups of sugar!!)

2 eggs

1/2 c butter

Beat well.

Add:

1 1/3 c sifted flour

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

Beat well. Bake at 350 for 35 or 40 minutes in a greased cake pan.

Topping:

6 Tbs butter

1/2 c brown sugar

1/4 c cream

1 tsp vanilla

1 c coconut

1/2 c hickory nut meats or walnuts

mix together and spread on top of cake while it is hot.Put under broiler for 5 minutes or until coconut is brown.
