Revel Bars
Revel Bars are thick dessert bars made with two layers of oatmeal bars with a thick layer of fudge in between.Try my Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bars for another oatmeal and chocolate treat.Revel Bars (Or is it Fudge Jumbles?) Revel bars can be found at most potlucks or church functions in the midwest.
In fact, my mother-in-law, Patricia, has been making these bars for over 40 years! She calls them Fudge Jumbles.I think that might be a midwestern name.The sweet fudgy middle layer perfectly complements the not-as-sweet layers of oatmeal.
The bars can be enjoyed as a dessert or a midday snack with a cup of coffee.And, hey, there’s oatmeal in this treat, so why not have one for breakfast and ‘revel’ in happiness all day? Bars Ingredients There are two parts to this recipe–the oatmeal bars and the fudge layer.Oats: I used old-fashioned oats, also known as rolled oats, in my recipe.
They are flat, irregularly shaped pieces that are used a lot in cookies, granola bars, and muffins.You could also use quick oats if that is what you have on hand.Brown Sugar: Use light brown sugar.
Light brown sugar contains about 3 1/2% molasses, compared to double that in dark brown sugar.Room Temperature Ingredients: For best results, make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature.The butter needs to be at room temperature (65°F) for it to cream properly with the sugar.
Sweetened Condensed Milk: Be sure to check the labels carefully when buying sweetened condense
