When i was a kid, my nana made these things she called "scotch oat bars", and my grandfather called them "quaker oat bars"....

They were made with oats, and had like a chocolate top, but i dont remember much else except they tasted excellent.... anyone know of anything similar?

Thanks

This sounds to me like the "Oatmeal Scotchies" we used to make when I was a kid.

The recipe can be found on the back of the Nestle's Butterscotch Morsels bag. (Sorry I don't have it in front of me right now).

Use the directions for Bar Cookies rather than for Drop Cookies.
