Peppermint Oat Bars
Peppermint, oatmeal and chocolate chips are a terrific combination in this recipe shared by Connie Major Williams from Dexter, Michigan. The bars obviously were a hit with her brother-in-law. "The first time he tasted them, he said, 'Mmmm...can you buy these someplace?'" she recalls.

Unfortunately, these bars disappeared so quickly i only got a small portion of one after begging for them. Really refreshing and just delicious
I'm really glad that I tried these bars! I did adjust the recipe by using one 8-oz. package of cream cheese, softened, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 egg, 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract, 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/3 to 1/2 cup of crushed Starlight peppermint candies. I greased and floured an 8x8x2" baking pan. I did prepare crumbs for the crust and topping as recipe stated. I also baked 25 minutes. I took these bars to the Cancer Registry for the staff and they in turn shared the balance with the Cancer Center nurses who work with them and with the clients.This recipe worked out great and it's a keeper for me! Thank you for sharing this recipe! delowenstein
