Oatmeal Fudge Bars

Description

Crispy top, with an ooey, gooey, chocolaty fudge center. I hope that this turns out as well for you as it does for me! I place a large piece of aluminum foil or a cookie sheet under my 9×13-inch pan, as it can sometimes get a little bit of overflow. Worth the little bit of mess!
