These bars are my coworker Jeff's favorite bars in the world (he starts drooling just thinking about them) and I decided to make these for our department picnic, which ended up being in our building's warehouse because of severe weather (some of the highlights of the picnic included "seeking shelter" in the secret hallway and breaking a fluorescent light bulb playing kickball). The recipe I used warned against over baking the bars, but I would also add that you need to be equally as careful not to under bake them or they will be very gooey. I also took people's suggestions and added 3 tsp vanilla to the oat mixture. The bars are easy, delicious, and very addicting!
