Chocolate Revel Bars
If you're craving a dessert that’s rich, chewy, and packed with chocolatey goodness, Chocolate Revel Bars are the perfect treat. This classic bar cookie recipe combines a soft, buttery oatmeal crust with a decadent fudge-like chocolate filling — making it a nostalgic favorite for family gatherings.
Ingredients
For the oatmeal crust
- 7 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup & 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 & 1/2 cups quick oats
For the fudge filling
- 5 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 6 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream the 7 tablespoons butter and light brown sugar until light and fluffy. About 2 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing just until combined.
- Stir in the quick oats until combined. Reserve about 1/3 of the oat mixture for topping. Press the remaining 2/3 into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a small double broiler, over low heat, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and mix in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the chocolate filling over the oat crust and spread evenly. Drop teaspoon dollops of the reserved oat mixture over the top. No need to cover completely. Gently press the oat mixture into the fudge filling.
- Bake for 23-25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden.
- Let cool completely in the pan before removing and cutting into 16 squares. Enjoy!
Notes
Cool for about 30-45 minutes. Best stored in the refrigerator and taste great fully chilled!
