Granny’s Ooey Gooey Oatmeal Bars

We’re taking a stroll down memory lane today with some of our blogging friends and sharing Grandma’s Favorite Recipes!  Memories of some of our favorite recipes from Grandma, Granny, or Nanny.

Whatever you may have called this beloved family member most can agree that there’s a recipe or two (or even more if you are fortunate) that will bring back the nostalgic memories of her cooking, baking and time in the kitchen.

 

 

I’m sharing Granny’s Ooey Gooey Oatmeal Bars as my contribution to this collection. I only have one actual recipe that is from my grandma, a cookie recipe that I really need to get onto the blog.

When I started thinking about what I really remember my grandma making when I was young I remembered a layered bar that had a center with caramel and chocolate. This recipe is pretty darn close to what I recall devouring as a youngster.

 

 

This recipe makes a large batch, which is great when you are serving during the holidays or taking to a potluck. If not, find a friend, give them away…your waistline will thank you.

I took Granny’s Ooey Gooey Oatmeal Bars to the next level by serving them with a scoop of ice cream on top and a drizzle of caramel sauce. Holy yum!

 

 

Now that I’ve tempted you with this sweet treat, I’m excited to share with you all the other delicious recipes from my blogging friends. Granny knows best and we just know you’ll love trying all of these memorable recipes!
