BETTY'S CRUNCHY BROWNIE BARS
A goodie Betty shared with the group at our annual rughooking retreat. Recipe originally came from the back of a Duncan Hines brownie box, but she decided she liked a Betty Crocker boxed brownie mix better. Cook time does not include time to cool. I thought the oatmeal layer might detract from the brownie, but it was a wonderful compliment.

Steps:
- For crunchy layer, combine flour, soda and salt; stir in oats and brown sugar.
- Add the 3/4 cups melted butter and pat mixture in bottom of an ungreased 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
- Bake at 350°F for 5 minutes; at this time it will not be completely baked.
- While bottom layer is in the oven, prepare brownies as directed on package.
- Spread batter in pan over crunchy layer.
- Return to oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes until done (do not over bake).
- Prepare frosting when brownies are cool.
- In a small saucepan melt together chocolate and the 3 tablespoons butter.
- Remove from heat; immediately add confectioners' sugar, vanilla and 2 tablespoons hot water.
- Stir until smooth; add remaining tablespoon hot water to make a soft, pourable consistency.
- Spread over brownies while frosting is still hot; let set until firm.
- Cut into bars.
