These colorful, rich and gooey bars could not be simpler to prepare.

I always have the ingredients on hand to make these. Plus, they are "healthy" because they have oatmeal!

I recently came across another way to use up some of those cartons of oats and bags of bran spilling out of my pantry. Brandi of Bran Appetit posted an intriguing recipe for Brandi's Cookie Bars. I used her recipe with a few changes to make cookie bars of my own. Please visit Brandi's blog for the original recipe. And if you're a fan of oatmeal cookies and chocolate, make these now!

I made these bars with blackberry preserves instead. I made a simple glaze and drizzled it over the bars once they cooled completely.
