Steps

  1. Cream together the margarine and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in egg and vanilla.
  3. In a mixing bowl, blend together the flour, oats, baking soda and salt.
  4. Mix flour mixture into creamed mixture, using a wooden spoon to start, until crumbly looking.
  5. Reserve roughly ⅓ of the mixture in a bowl and set aside.
  6. Press remaining mixture into a greased, lined square pan.
  7. In a mixing bowl over a pot of boiling water, heat all filling ingredients until chocolate chips are just melted.
  8. Spread chocolate mixture evenly over prepared base, keeping the sides of the pan clean.
  9. Take reserved mixture and sprinkle over the top. Note that it will not cover the whole surface.
  10. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 20 to 25 minutes, or just until oatmeal mixture has a light golden colour.
  11. Let cool, cut, and serve.
