O' Delicious: O'Henry Bars Recipe
Tuesday, July 13, 2010 
I'm sorry to have to say this, but it's over. I've found another oat-based bar cookie to love.
And that other oaty treat? The O'Henry Bar. We met accidentally--when I was chatting with Sabrina, a shopper at the Urban Craft Uprising, she told me about the O'Henry Bar, a treat her mom frequently made for her growing up. At first, this bar sounded kind of like you, Oatsie--an oat, butter, sugar, and corn syrup-based confection which is baked, and then topped...and this is where it changes...with chocolate and peanut butter.
Oh, Oatsie, what was I do do? Your topping of chocolate and chopped nuts is tasty, but who can resist the smooth, salty-sweet deliciousness of peanut butter and chocolate?
Nobody, that's who. And after baking a batch, I can say with no hesitation that it was love at first bite.
It's not me...it's you. I hope you'll be well. Really.
Love,
CakeSpy
P.S. Here's the recipe.
O'Henry Bars
Adapted from Sabrina's mom
Ingredients
- 4 cups quick cooking oatmeal
- 2/3 cup butter
- 1/2 cup Karo syrup (light, not dark)
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 teaspoons vanilla
For the topping
- 6 ounces chocolate chips
- 2/3 cup peanut butter (a more smooth variety)
Procedure
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Melt butter, karo syrup, sugar, and vanilla in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the oats and stir, still over heat, until fully coated and incorporated.
- Press firmly into 9"x13" greased pan (I'd recommend putting a piece of wax paper down and roll with rolling pin/can so it doesn't stick) and bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.
- While this cools, make the topping. Melt together 6oz chocolate chips & 2/3 cup of peanut butter (I used Peanut Butter and Co.'s Dark chocolate Dreams for extra chocolaty richness) in either a microwave-safe bowl or over low heat.
- Spread over oatmeal bars and let cool. Cut into yummy morsels & enjoy!

Did you mean to put the wax paper under the oats before cooking? That woulf make sense as I made these without anything but butter in the pan to keep them from sticking and I needed a jack hammer to get them out... but when I did, they were Oh-so-delicious. Also, I didn't have enough chocolate chips on hand so I mixed in some extra PH chips and some butterscotch. YUM!
