A Tasty Treat

Carly [my sister in law] sent me this recipe [which she got from her friend Rachel's blog] and told me she just made them and they were delicious. I love delicious. Needless to say I had to try them out myself. And you want to know what? They are delicious. Super delicious.

September Bars

• 1.75 cups flour
• 1.5 cups old fashioned oats
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• .5 tsp nutmeg
• .5 tsp ground cloves
• 1 cup cold butter, chopped into 1 in squares
• 1 cup jam (we used peach but any jam is amazing!), really just use as much as you want, enough to coat.

1. in a big bowl, stir the flour, oats, brown sugar and spices until blended.
2. cut in butter (either with pastry blender or two knives) until the mixture forms course crumbs the size of peas
3. remove two cups of the crumb mixture, set a side.
4. press the rest of the crumb mixture into your 9x9
5. spread the jam over the pressed mixture
6. sprinkle the rest of the crumbs over evenly.

bake at 325 for about 45-50 minutes

let it cool

But really. Let it cool. You might want to gobble them up right then, and go a head a snitch a bit, but you will be quite delighted if you let them cool.
