I often serve these hearty, cake-like brownies with a fork for easier eating. The oatmeal crust, fudgy filling and chocolate frosting make them a hit wherever I take them.

I have had this recipe for over 30 years - mine uses half the chocolate in the filling as well as 3/4 cup of sugar (which is sweet enough.) I also use one egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. It is very good but you have to becareful not to overbake them or they will be very dry. They are delicious with chopped nuts added to the filling as well as walnut halves placed on top once frosted. I would make these again!
