MDBD - Chocolate Oatmeal Peanut Butter Bars

This recipe for Chocolate Oatmeal Peanut Butter Bars from A Dash of Sanity was MDBD on 12/8/13. I was really hoping that this recipe turned out well. Sadly, I must have messed something up because they ended up looking like a really jacked up version of the picture on the original blog. They didn't really seem to set up and stick together like they were supposed to.
