Oatmeal Brownie Gems

These are a delicious new take on brownies. It makes a lot, so be prepared to share!

2 3/4 cup quick-cooking or old fashioned oats, uncooked
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 3/4 cup M&Ms semi-sweet chocolate mini baking bits
1 (19 to 21 ounce) package brownie mix, prepared according to package directions for fudge like brownies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl combine oats, flour, sugar, nuts and baking soda; add butter until mixture forms coarse crumbs. Stir in M&Ms semi-sweet bits until evenly distributed. Reserve 3 cups of the mixture. Pat remaining mixture into bottom of 15x10x1 inch pan (cookie sheet) to form the crust. Pour prepared brownie batter over crust, carefully spreading into a thin layer. Sprinkle reserved crumb mixture over top of brownie mixture; pat down lightly. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs. Cool completely. Cut into bars. Store covered in container.

Yield: 48 bars
