Oklahoma Recipes (job, move, rain)

I went to the Thompson House bake sale here in Tahlequah. The Thompson House is a Victorian house once owned by the Thompsons. They had it all decorated and filled with special gifts and baked goods. I bought some bars, and I am sure that this is the recipe:

Chocolate Oatmeal Bars

1 1/2 cups butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups quick cooking oats
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup semisweet chocolate
chips
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 inch square baking pan. To prepare Filling: In a heavy pot, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and chocolate chips. Add the evaporated milk and 1/4 cup of the white sugar. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in nuts and cool. To prepare cookie base: Cream 1 1/2 cups of the butter and the brown sugar together. Add the vanilla and the egg, and beat until light and fluffy. Add the flour, baking soda, and 1 3/4 cups of the oats and blend well. Press 2/3 of this mixture into the bottom of the greased pan. Spread the cooled filling on top of the cookie crust. Mix the remaining 1/4 cup of oats with the remainder of the cookie base, and crumble over the filling. Bake for 25-30 minutes

On another day I went to a Friends of the Library program, and a friend of mine brought this delicious dish:

This cake makes it's own chocolate sauce. It's wonderful served warm with ice-cream.

Well, here it is! I sprinkled a few bread crumbs on top before I put it in the oven. It wasn't in the recipe, but I thought it wouldn't hurt. Now, for the REAL test, to see how it tastes! mmmm, the bestest part...

Good job, Synopsis. I like the way it looks browned around the edges. Looks YUMMY!

A+ for you in cooking.
