O Henry Bars

These are really, really bad for you. It's hard to stop eating them.

  • 2/3 c. margarine, softened
  • 1 c. brown sugar
  • 4 c. rolled oats
  • 1/2 c. light corn syrup
  • 3 tsp. vanilla
  • 6 oz. (1 c.) chocolate chips
  • 2/3 c. crunchy peanut butter

Cream the margarine and sugar together. Add oatmeal, corn syrup and vanilla and mix well. Pat dough into a greased 9x13-inch pan (the dough will be sticky; have patience). Bake at 350°F for 15-16 minutes. Let cool about 15 minutes.

While the dough is cooling, melt the chocolate chips in a double-boiler and stir in the peanut butter. Spread over the baked dough and cool in the refrigerator until the chocolate is set, 2-3 hours.

Cut into bars and serve.
