 1-1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup quick oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1/2 cup Burleson's Clover Honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-1/2 cups walnut halves
1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
In large mixing bowl, stir together old-fashioned and quick oats, flour, brown sugar, baking soda and salt. In 1-cup glass measure, melt butter in microwave on High for 1 minute. Whisk in Burleson's honey and vanilla until combined. Add to oat mixture; stir well. Coat 13x9x2 baking pan with cooking spray. Press mixture into pan. Sprinkle nuts on top; press into top of oat mixture. Chill in refrigerator at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 20-21 minutes or until light brown*. Remove from oven; sprinkle chocolate chips over hot bars. Let bars cool on rack for about 10 minutes to allow chips to melt. Spread chocolate over bars. Let cool completely before cutting into bars. Makes about 2 dozen bars.
* If using a convection oven, bake at 350 degrees for 17-19 minutes or until light brown.
Halloween Spider Web Bars: For a special Halloween treat, place 1/4 cup white chocolate chips in a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag; microwave on 50% power for 1 minute or until chips are melted. Cut a tip off one corner. Starting from the center of the pan of bars, pipe on a spiral design. Using a wooden pick, draw lines through the spiral to create a spider web design.
