Directions Laura's Easy Oatmeal Squares
Directions
-
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Spread the almonds onto a baking sheet, toast until the nuts are golden brown and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove nuts from baking sheet, and reserve.
Melt butter in a small saucepan placed over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, cook, stirring, until sugar has dissolved and mixture is bubbly. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and oatmeal. Press mixture into an 8 x 8 inch baking pan. Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned and set, about 20 minutes.
Remove from oven, and allow to cool slightly. Sprinkle chocolate chips over surface, let chocolate sit until melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Spread chocolate evenly over oatmeal squares. Sprinkle warm chocolate with toasted almonds. Cut into squares when cool.
