O'Henry Bars with Nutella

I adore these bars.  They are, however, dangerously addictive.  You have been warned!  ;)

These bars whip together really fast.  The hardest part is letting them cool and set in the fridge...they taste their best fully chilled....but honestly I struggle not to dig in.  This is also one of those recipes that is easy to cut down in size if you need to.  If you only want a tiny amount....generally so you don't snarfle the entire pan....easy enough to make a 1/4 of the recipe. 


O'Henry Bars with Nutella

Bottom layer:
4 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup tub margarine, melted
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 tsp vanilla

Top layer:
6oz milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup Nutella

Mix together oats and brown sugar.  Stir in melted butter, corn syrup, and vanilla.  Spread mixture in bottom of greased 9x13 pan and press down.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

Mix together milk chocolate chips and Nutella.  Microwave, stirring often, until mixture melts and looks smooth.  Spread over top of baked bars.  Chill for a couple hours before slicing into squares and diving in.

I used silicone cupcake forms to make the hearts.  Most of the time I'm content to do the 9x13 pan and slice into squares.  ;)  If you want to do a quick drizzle across your squares, spoon some of the chocolate/nutella mixture into a ziplock bag with the corner nipped off.  After you have spread your chocolate across your bars, drizzle away.

Sweet as Sugar Cookies has a Sweets for Saturday post with a ton of glorious goodies listed.  I spent quite a while drooling over all that glory.  ;)  I don't think you will regret having a lookie lew.
