I have been making a lot of recipes that my Grandma used to make and these Old Fashioned Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie Bars are some of my favorite!
These bars remind of me of “no-bake” cookies but better! They are just about as easy to make though.Find good chocolate, or use some you have on hand. Once I used leftover Valentines Day candy! 🙂
This is a super fast and great treat. The Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie Bars take less then 15 minutes to make and 15 minutes to bake, so within a really short time you have a nice treat that is kid friendly!

Looks delicious. Can’t wait to try these out this weekend.
As mom with food allergies to deal with, just wondered if the flour is more than a binder. And if you have any ideas for subistitutions for the milk.
I love old fashioned recipes, but try to pick other peoples brains before I experiment with them. Allergy friendly ingredients are always budget friendly!
My 3 year especially will love these if I can adapt them!
Eeek should say * NOT budget friendly!! Sorry.
