Chewy Scotch Bars image

A variation of a Pillsbury recipe I've seen on 'Zaar. This one is adapted from Southern Living November '98 and results in a sweet, fudgy chewy brownie-like bar. I reduced the sugar a bit and added the coffee. I inadvertently doubled the chocolate chips so I am posting it that way. The original called for 15x10 jelly roll pan but I used a 13x9 and increased baking time by a few minutes- the result is a thicker bar but feel free to bake it in the larger pan- just reduce the baking time by 5-8 minutes.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds in these bars. They turned out great!

These bars are a great way to use up leftover oats. I always have a bag of oats in my pantry, so I can make these bars anytime.

I followed the recipe exactly and my bars turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I still enjoyed these bars. The chocolate and oats are a great combination.
