These bar cookies taste a lot like a popular name-brand candy bar, but they are tender and chewy rather than ultra crunchy. For a splurge, use all butter and cashews in place of walnuts.

1. Preheat oven to 325°F.

2. In large bowl, combine butter and margarine along with brown sugar; beat until blended.

3. Add egg and beat well.

4. Stir in vanilla, then oatmeal, flour, whole wheat flour, and salt.

5. Spread mixture into 10″ × 15″ jelly roll pan.

6. Bake 15–25 minutes or until bars are set.

7. In small microwave-safe bowl, combine both kinds of chocolate chips. Melt at 50 percent power for 2 minutes, then remove from microwave and stir until melted and smooth.

8. Pour over warm bars and spread carefully.

9. Sprinkle with nuts, then cool completely and cut into bars.
