Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Lightly grease 15 X 10 inch pan.
Combine the oats, sugar, butter, corn syrup, vanilla and salt and mix well. Press the mixture into the pan, using your lightly greased hands to help the process along.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they’re a light golden brown. Remove them from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
In a medium saucepan set over very low heat, melt the chocolate and shortening together, stirring constantly until smooth. Spread the mixture evenly over the oat base and sprinkle with the chopped nuts. Cover very loosely and chill the squares in the refrigerator until the chocolate is firm. Remove from the refrigerator and cut into squares. The easiest way to do this is to use a chef’s knife to cut the bars into long strips while they’re still in the pan and then transfer each long strip to a cutting board and cut into bite-sized pieces.
