2. Add flour, baking soda, and oats, Stir well. Mixture will be soft, fluffy and crumbly. Stir in any optional additions
3. Press mixture into pan. Bake 18-22 min, until edges are tan/brown. Let cool
4. After the bars have cooled for 10min, use a smooth-bottomed measuing cup or glass to press the bars flat. (Pressing while too hot will smear chocolate everywhere). Allow to finish cooling, then cut into 18 bars with a pizza cutter. Store in sealed container for a week or freeze.
