Pwede na rin and peanuts pero it will not have the same effect
Ano pong brand ng oats
Kahit anong brand OK lang
Hello! Does it have to be rolled oats or instant oats is okay?
Either would be OK
Hello! Do you recommend making some of the parts ahead (e.g. leaving the chocolate mixture in the fridge overnight for stronger chocolate flavor)? Or better to just make them all at the same time? Thank you 🙂
I made them all at the same time, never had tried leaving it overnight.
Hello, can we use cooking oil instead of butter? If yes, what cooking oil can you suggest?
Sorry but I haven’t tried substituting it with that, while its possible I think it will not taste similar
Hi! Could this be baked in a microwave? I don’t have a gas oven kasi. Thank you!
Nope not in a microwave. In oven toaster is possible.
Hi. Did you use instant oats in your recipe? Thanks.
Yes but any oats will do
Hi. Cn I use a glass cookware like pyrex to bake this? Thanks.
Yes you can
Thnks. Is it the same baking time?
Hi you might add a bit of time since glass is thicker. But try with the same time first, just adjust if more time is needed.
Tried it in pyrex, needs more time to bake. This recipe is sooo good! Thank you!
Thanks for the advise on Pyrex
Hi,
I only have a 2×2 square pan and just planning to bake this in batches. Is the baking time still the same?
2×2? Inch?
baked it for the first time and its really good!!! satisfied my craving 🙂 thank you so much for sharing

You are much welcome, thanks for trying it out
Hi how long should i put it in the toaster oven?
Probably the same but make the temperature lower, around 170 since the elements are nearer to what you are baking. Just check it occasionally specially at the 20-25 minute mark.
Hi can i use cashews instead of walnuts?
Yes you can
Tried it. So delicious! My kids love it. Thanks for sharing.
Youre welcome, and thanks too for trying it out.
I just tried your recipe!!! It was so goooood!!!

Thanks for trying it out
Hi, may I know how many square pcs can I make for the pan size? Can I use rectangular pan instead orlf square? Thank you!
Yes you can, depends on the size it will yeld 12 to 15 squares
Hi! Where do you bake these bars, on the middle rack or bottom rack? And do you have any tips on how to avoid having a dry crust? Thanks!
Dont fan bake and place in middle rack. Use the normal bake function.
If I use a gas oven, should I still open the top flame or would the bottom flame work just fine?
I use electric ones and heat source is from the top so its better to use the top rather than the bottom if your oven can do that
Hello! Can I use chocolate bar instead of chocolate chips? If yes, how many ounces of chocolate bar should I use? Thank you!
Yes you can and use the milk chocolate one so they melt easily, just roughly chop it and use the same amount like the chocolate chips
Hi I’m planning to bake this recipe. But I only have 7×11 pan. Is that okay to use the exact amount recipes here? Or should I adjust it? And how about the baking time? Is it the same? Thank you so much for the response ☺️
It should be fine, just check after 30 minutes, you might need to add additional 2 minutes
So I can use this exact same amount of ingredients? ☺️ Thank you ☺️
Yes you should
Hi! Mine came out a little too chocolatey that it was hard to cut into bars. I used a little less than 1 1/2 cups of choco chips. Is it still okay to reduce to 1 1/4 but same amount of condensed milk and other top layer ingredients? I used 9×13 pan.
Yes you can. My guess why it went hard is that the chocolate chips you used might not be milk chocolates? It might be dark chocolates?
Oh! It was actually semi-sweet choco chips. If dark chocolate will be used, is it better to reduce it?
Yes as it has less cream on it, would suggest using milk chocolates
Ohhh. Got this! Thank you so much for answering my questions. The recipe is super yummy despite mine being too overly filled with chocolate. Everyone liked it in our household. Will try it with milk chocolate.
You are welcome and thanks for trying it out as well
Thank you for this recipe. It came out really good. Just too much for us though. That said, can I cut all the ingredients to half and bake in an 8×8/7×7 pan? Will I still bake it for 30mins or less? Thank you!
I will but not that long but make sure its the same thickness, probably at the 25 minute mark, just check once you are in 20 minutes.
Made this just now but the chocolate does not set.. ano po pwde ko gawin??
Apologies for the late reply, what happened to the chocolate? it is slightly melted? It is supposed to be like that, a bit melted after baking, it gives that gooey texture. Let me know
This is a great recipe. I just used 1 and 1/2 cup of brown sugar instead of 2 cups to lessen the sweetness. After baking i cooled it at the kitchen counter and placed it in the fridge so the chocolate could set and be fudgy.
Nice one, thanks for sharing this
Hello! Is QUAKER Whole Grain Rolled Oats okay? Or its grains are to big for the recipe?
Hi Chris, it should be fine
pede poba kremdensada?
for substitute condensed milk
I havent tried that yet so I cant say if it will work.
Hi! I just tried making this and I had problems with the chocolate part. It did not set and was still runny. The bars did not hold shape when I cut it, para silang nag lava flow. I followed instructions on oven temp and time, and cooled it for almost 24 hours before cutting. Is there a way to check it if it’s done baking, like inserting a toothpick or something. Or maybe I did not cook the chocolate-condensed milk mixture long enough? Do I need to cook it until thickened over the stove?
Sorry to hear that, probably the chocolate and condensed milk mixture was not cooked enough as this should hold its shape. I am also interested on what type / brand of chocolate chips did you use, this might contribute to why it did not set.
I used dark chocolate bars that i chopped up. I made this recipe again, cooking the condensed milk mixture longer over the stove and added 5 minutes to my baking time. Now it’s holding its shape better. My friends and family love it. Thank you for this recipe.
Hi. I tried the recipe. It came out perfect actually, except for the chocolatey part. It was so hard, parang the tira2x candy. What could I change on my next batch? I used the Bensdorf powdered cocoa.
You should have used chocolate chips instead. Cocoa does not have cream or butterfat compared to chocolates
Hi please help out. Mine came out too soft. I followed all steps but the chocolate part became too runny, and the oatmeal part is not holding shape. Its like melting.
Sorry to hear that, what cookware do you use? Glass or Metal? Also what type and brand of chocolate chips are you using? And for the oven, was it preheated before it went in?
If its runny try to cook it a bit further with the condensed milk.
