Yields12 Servings
 1 cup whole wheat flour
 1 cup old-fashioned oats
 1 tsp baking soda
 ¼ tsp Kosher salt
 ½ cup brown sugar
 ½ cup butter, softened (1 stick)
 1 tsp vanilla extract
 ¼ cup whole milk
 ¼ cup butterscotch chips
 ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
 ½ cup chocolate Halloween candy, bigger pieces cut into 1-inch chunks
 2 tbsp candy eyeball sprinkles
1

Preheat oven to 350ºF and lightly butter an 8 X 8 inch baking dish.

2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt until well combined. In the bowl of a stand mixer fit with a paddle attachment, beat the brown sugar and butter together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add vanilla extract and continue to beat another few seconds.

3

Turn off the mixer and scrape down the bowl. Turn mixer on low speed and add half the dry ingredients, mixing for a few seconds, just until combined. Add the milk and mix until combined, then add the last half of the dry ingredients and mix just until a stiff dough forms. Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and fold in the butterscotch and chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.

4

Scoop the dough into the prepared baking pan and use a spatula or your hands to spread it evenly in the pan. Press the candy pieces and candy eyeballs lightly into the dough, just so the candy stays put while baking.

5

Bake bars in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until bars are set and lightly browned. Let cool completely before cutting into bars and serving.
