Betty's Crunchy Brownie Bars image

A goodie Betty shared with the group at our annual rughooking retreat. Recipe originally came from the back of a Duncan Hines brownie box, but she decided she liked a Betty Crocker boxed brownie mix better. Cook time does not include time to cool. I thought the oatmeal layer might detract from the brownie, but it was a wonderful compliment.

Time 1h5m

Yield 24 large brownies

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup flour, sifted
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup butter, melted
1 (21 1/4 ounce) package brownie mix (Betty Crocker Hershey's Triple Chunk Supreme)
3 tablespoons water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 1/2 unsweetened chocolate squares (1 1/2 ounces)
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine
2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar, sift if lumpy
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3 tablespoons hot water

Steps:

  • For crunchy layer, combine flour, soda and salt; stir in oats and brown sugar.
  • Add the 3/4 cups melted butter and pat mixture in bottom of an ungreased 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
  • Bake at 350°F for 5 minutes; at this time it will not be completely baked.
  • While bottom layer is in the oven, prepare brownies as directed on package.
  • Spread batter in pan over crunchy layer.
  • Return to oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes until done (do not over bake).
  • Prepare frosting when brownies are cool.
  • In a small saucepan melt together chocolate and the 3 tablespoons butter.
  • Remove from heat; immediately add confectioners' sugar, vanilla and 2 tablespoons hot water.
  • Stir until smooth; add remaining tablespoon hot water to make a soft, pourable consistency.
  • Spread over brownies while frosting is still hot; let set until firm.
  • Cut into bars.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my brownies turned out dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These brownies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I would probably use less sugar next time.
