Zubereitung von Crunchy Brownie Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- **Crunchy Layer:**
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Stir in 2 cups rolled oats and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar.
- Add ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter and mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- **Brownie Layer:**
- While the crunchy layer bakes, prepare your favorite brownie mix according to package directions. (This recipe uses Duncan Hines Fudgy Brownies as an example – adjust ingredients based on your chosen mix). If using Duncan Hines Fudgy brownies, use the ingredients listed on the package as a guide.
- Once the crunchy layer is partially baked, remove it from the oven. Pour the brownie batter evenly over the crunchy layer.
- Bake for an additional 35-40 minutes for cake-like brownies, or 40-45 minutes for fudgy brownies. Do not overbake!
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- **Frosting:**
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips and ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons hot water until smooth.
- Add 1 tablespoon more hot water if needed to reach a pourable consistency.
- Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set.
- Cut into bars and enjoy!
