  1. These taste delicious! My only criticism is that the oat layers are very crumbly and not very flavorful. I would perhaps try adding a bit of brown sugar when I melt the butter to see if that helps it adhere better and have a nicer taste. The banana PB fudge layer has a lot of wonderful taste which does balance out the oats layer. Thanks for the post.
     
  2. These are tasty. I used quick-cooking oats instead of rolled oats because that's what I had. While cooking the oats with the brown sugar and butter, they seemed too dry, so I added 1-2 tbsp of water during cooking to keep them from burning. My oat layer wasn't too dry or crumbly like the previous reviewer. I don't know if it was the addition of water or using quick-cooking oats instead of rolled, but it worked really well. I used an extra banana. Probably would have been fine with one, but I love bananas. These are so easy, I will definitely make them again.

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all. Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
