BETTY'S CRUNCHY BROWNIE BARS
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.

Steps:
- 1. Grease and line a brownie style tray and pre-heat oven to 150oC/300oF.
- 2. In a large bowl mix everything well and pour into the prepared pan. Spread out and push down using the back of your spatula or spoon (you want it compressed).
- 3. Bake in the prepared oven for about 30 minutes or until golden (take care as it can go from golden to brown quickly). Cool in the tin. When cold, slice and store in a container. DO NOT refrigerate.
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the batter mix more evenly and result in a smoother, more consistent bar.
- Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the batter, making the bars lighter and airier.
- Beat the eggs in one at a time: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
- Stir in the dry ingredients gradually: This will help prevent the batter from becoming too thick or lumpy.
- Bake the bars until they are just set in the center: Overbaking will make the bars dry and crumbly.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to hold their shape.
Conclusion:
Betty Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are soft, chewy, and packed with chocolate chips. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of these bars that will be enjoyed by everyone.
