"If you feel the urge to stop what you're doing and make these bars immediately, no one would blame you. This cross between two favorite desserts, an oatmeal cookie and a s'more, may be the perfect treat. You'll find plenty of chocolate and marshmallow to make them decadent and oats to give them a great chewiness. These will be the first to disappear at any potluck or gathering...."
