Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to our party!  Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop is one of the longest lasting weekly gathering of mommy-bloggers ever.  No, we don’t have an exact statistic but I had the pleasure of creating it approximately 9 years ago.  Really!  And why is it still going strong? I think it is because people are friendly and love to appreciate each other’s hard work.  Bloggers work hard, yes they do.  But blogging is so much fun, most of us hardly notice♥  May I sincerely say, we are so glad you are here!  A party isn’t a party without guests. ♥

Please enjoy the features we share – much enjoyed contributions from the previous week’s party – and next, scroll down the page to the new posts that our blogging attendees will be sharing.

And, how do you show the bloggers appreciation?  Well, we love it when you leave a nice comment on a post  and PINS help us a lot!  When you pin one of our posts on Pinterest, it starts a chain reaction of others seeing it and pinning it which can result in lots traffic to our blogs!  Please pin pin pin!  And thank you!

It’s February!  For those who enjoy the Super Bowl or love Valentine’s Day, both are coming soon.  Have fun with your family and friends! Take time to enjoy it all!  If you need new ideas for party snacks or Valentine gifts, there will be some great ones in this party, I guarantee it!

20 Comments

This oatmeal chocolate bar recipe is very simple to make and so delicious. The four key ingredients are brown sugar, butter, oatmeal and chocolate – all my favorites!  It is no wonder that I like it so much. Oh yes, just a little tip if you are planning on sharing it. Make TWO batches of this recipe. It will disappear in no-time!

Oatmeal fudge bars are so easy to make and are a chocolate lover's DREAM come true! #desserts #chocolate #easyrecipes

Here is how I got the recipe. One of the teachers at the school brought a batch of these yummy oatmeal fudge bars to work last month and put a big tray of them by the coffee pot in the teacher’s lounge.  We all loved them so much that they were gone before lunchtime!  I asked Joanna, the teacher who made them, for the recipe and here it is for you.

Easy Fudgy Oatmeal Chocolate Bar Recipe

Preheat oven to 350°

Grease a 9 x 13” baking pan

Note: an astute reader noticed that I used a smaller, square baking pan in the photo below. I had split the recipe into two pans to bring to school for a treat for our staff.  Two 8X8 pans or one 9X13 works the same!

Ingredients

2 cups brown sugar

1 cup butter

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

2 ½ cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

3 cups old fashioned oatmeal

1 pkg chocolate chips [12 oz]

1 can sweetened condensed milk [14 oz]

1 tsp vanilla

2 T. butter

Directions

Combine everything EXCEPT the last four ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

Spoon ½ of the batter into a grease baking pan and press it in with the back of a big spoon.

Combine chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and 2 T. butter.

Heat them in a microwavable bowl until melted.*  

*Tip – about 30 seconds at a time.

Stir.

Spoon the melted chocolate chip batter onto the other in the pan.

Add the rest of the oatmeal batter to the top.

Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes.

Run a sharp knife around the outer edge then cool completely.

Cut into squares about 1 – 2 inches.

Chocolate and coffee go GREAT together!
