These are two stage bars. First an oatmeal, sugar, corn syrup base is baked. Then melted chocolate is poured over this cooled base and nuts are sprinkled on top.
My issues all came after the bars were finished. Even in a non- stick pan that was well greased, these bars did not want to come out of the pan. Cutting through the hardened chocolate and the very chewy oatmeal base was very difficult.
These bars should definitely have been baked on an aluminum foil sleeve parchment paper. I just about ruined my favorite jelly roll pan trying to get these out.
The bars themselves are very rich - not crunchy at all. The base is moist and chewy and very, very sweet. I'd probably like them more if I hadn't had to wrestle with them.
