GLUTEN-FREE OAT FUDGE BARS (STARBUCKS COPYCAT)

Steps:

• For base/topping, cream butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
• Mix flour, soda, cinnamon, and oats and add slowly to creamed mixture.
• Spread 2/3 of this into 9x13 pan (it will be a bit thin).
• For fudge filling, melt remaining ingredients in a saucepan and pour over dough in pan.
• Shape the remaining dough into circles and press them into the fudge.
• Bake at 350° for 25 minutes, or until topping is lightly browned.
• Let cool quite a bit before cutting into bars, as it will result in a delicious gooey mess!
• Enjoy!

OATMEAL CHOCOLATE FUDGE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Cream butter, sugar and salt in a mixer.
• Add flour and oatmeal, blend until it holds together.
• Heat milk in a pan and add chocolate chips.
• Use low heat and stir until the chips are melted and you have a smooth chocolate cream.
• Using a 9x13 pan, press 3/4 of the dough mixture in the pan, spreading and patting it to cover the whole surface.
• Pour chocolate cream over crust.
• Crumble last bit of dough over the chocolate, creating a third spotty layer.
• Bake for 30 minutes, until lightly browned.
• Cool, cut, transfer to a wax paper lined tray and allow to firm up a bit before serving- I leave them for a few hours and they become fudge-like, but they are still yummy if you eat them sooner than that.
• You can also use a smaller pan- I have used a 10" square and just baked a little longer for a thicker bar, which required a longer cooling time as well.
• Note: removing to the wax paper is necessary-- if you cool them too long in the pan they are hard to remove, as the bottom crust tends to stick to the pan.
