Chocolate Revel Bars

It’s Decem­ber 1st–a good time to kick of the hol­i­day bak­ing sea­son.  This year, my goal is to have a lot of dif­fer­ent things made ahead.  So, when­ever that spur of the moment get together hap­pens, I have some­thing fun, fes­tive and yummy to serve or bring with!
Today, I decided on Choco­late Revel Bars.  With all the bak­ing sales this time of year, the ingre­di­ents are all things you’re likely to have on hand.

I’m sure there are quite a few ver­sions of this recipe float­ing around. I got mine from my mother-in-law and tweaked it just a lit­tle. These cookie bars are super easy to make and have NO white sugar! :)  But, have enough but­ter and brown sugar to make them ridicu­lously unhealthy tasty. 

Sim­ply mix up your bat­ter and spread two-thirds of it into a bar/jelly roll pan…

Mix up the choco­late and spread it all over…

Dot the choco­late with the remain­ing bat­ter mix­ture…

Bake for 25 min­utes at 350; remove and let cool for at least 10 min­utes…

 Cut, serve, and revel in your yummy cre­ation (sorry, I couldn’t resist!)…

And, the best part (besides the gooey, rich deli­cious­ness) is that they can be frozen for at least a month to serve later.  So, I cut two small rows from the bar pan that our fam­ily can enjoy this week.  But, we have two gal­lon size bag­gies filled with these for later this month!  If you are going to freeze, it’s best to freeze them in large sec­tions wrapped in foil.  Then, when you need them, thaw & cut into bites.
Choco­late Revel Bars  
Bat­ter
- 1 C but­ter (less 2T)
- 2 C brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 t vanilla
- 1 t bak­ing soda
- 1 t salt
- 2 C AP flour
- 1/2 C whole wheat flour
- 3 cup quick cook­ing oats
Choco­late
- 12 oz. bag semi-sweet choco­late chips
- 14oz. can sweet­ened con­densed milk
- 2T (saved from the 1C)


Mix but­ter & brown sugar.  Add eggs, vanilla, flour, soda & salt, and oat­meal.  Mix well.  Spread about 2/3 of the mix­ture into a bar/jelly roll pan.  
Melt chips, con­densed milk, and but­ter together (I just did this in the microwave–didn’t even take 2 min­utes).  
Pour choco­late over the bat­ter in pan.  Dot with remain­ing oat­meal mix­ture.  Bake for 25 min­utes @ 350–don’t over­bake!!

    I always freeze my fresh cookie dough into ready to bake balls. I bake the frozen balls as if they were fresh. I like this because I only bake 3 or 4 cook­ies at a time and they are always fresh and if I am in a pickle and need to take some­thing with me, I can always take cookies.
