Chocolate Chip Bars (Or Gift Mix in a Jar) image

This recipe came from a book with all sorts of mixes that you layer in a quart canning jar to give as gifts. I wanted to try this particular one so I just put everything together in a mixing bowl and didn't bother making a jar. Sometimes the goodies that are in a jar are not that great but these are delicious; they are moist and have lots of yummy flavors. At the end of the recipe in the instructions, I will list how to do the layers if you should want to give this as a gift. You will notice in the layers that there are two of flour, white sugar, and brown sugar. That is just to make it look nice but if you are going to make it without the jar, just follow the instruction that I have listed. Tie a big bow around the top and give as a gift.

I love that these bars are made with oats. They give the bars a chewy texture and they're also a healthy addition.

These bars are the perfect way to use up leftover chocolate chips. I always have a bag of chocolate chips in my pantry, so these bars are a great way to use them up.
