Oh Henry Bars

Does this look like the last recipe I submitted? I must be on a peanut butter/chocolate kick. I know I just submitted Peanut Butter Fingers, but this recipe is more of a granola bar with chocolate on top. These are so yummy. This recipe came from a recipe book from the ward I grew up in.

4 Cup quick oatmeal
2/3 Cup butter, melted
1 Cup brown sugar
1/4 Cup light corn syrup
1 tsp. salt
3 tsp. vanilla

Bake in 9 x 13 pan at 350 degrees for 12 minutes.

Topping:
1 pkg.(6-9 ounce) chocolate chips(semi sweet or milk)
2/3 Cup peanut butter(chunky or smooth)

Melt chips and peanut butter. Spread over bars.

Marshmallow Brownies

Submitted by Julie Twitchell

I found this recipe here. I have made marshmallow brownies before using mini marshmallows, but this recipe uses marshmallow creme. I had to try it. They are quite yummy. These were at the recent RS meeting.

• 1 Cup butter (2 sticks)
• 2 Cup sugar
• 1 1/2 Cup flour
• 1/2 Cup nuts (optional)
• 3 TB cocoa
• 4 eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 jar marshmallow creme (small jar)

1. Melt together butter and cocoa. Beat eggs and sugar together in a bowl. Add cocoa mixture to egg and sugar mixture alternating with flour. Add nuts and vanilla.
2. Bake in 9 x 13 inch pan at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. Spread top with marshmallow creme as soon as the pan is removed from oven. Let cool and frost with the following:

1/2 stick butter
1 TB cocoa (heaping)
1/2 pound powdered sugar
1 TB milk

Beat butter and cocoa until smooth. Add milk and enough powdered sugar to your desired consistency.

**Note: To make the marshmallow creme easier to spread, you can soften it by placing the jar into a bowl with hot water (leave the lid on while you do this).
