I made these exactly as directed, then cooled them in the refrigerator for two hours (per instructions). They were as hard as concrete, and almost impossible to cut. Much too chewy, and the predominant flavor was of uncooked oatmeal. Sorry, but I won't be making these again.

We loved these bars! The only deviation I made was not cooling them for 2-3 hours -- we were eating them by then! My 13 year old wanted them for her birthday instead of a cake!
