Nope...hated it. Why would you call these oatmeal bars when you hardly taste the oatmeal. And I agree; you've got to love molasses to like these bars. I'd feed them to the dogs, but I put some chocolate chips in them, and dogs aren't supposed to eat chocolate. I don't think they'd eat them, even without the chocolate. Don't waste your time with this recipe.

I made these oatmeal bars even though my family thought they would not like them, it turns out they loved them. I didn't have chocolate chips so I substituted cinnamon chips, I left the raisins out. I cut the molasses down to 1/4cup and used 1/4 cup corn syrup as well. This recipe is great. Next time I will use chocolate chips just to switch it up. Paige MO

I wasn't prepared for how overbearing the molasses is in these bars. I normally love molasses cookies, but for some reason there was something off in this recipe. They were very moist, simple to make, but unfortunately the flavor was off.
