How to Make Cherry Revel Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a 13x9x2-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  3. In a mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened butter and 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar using a mixer on medium-high speed for 30 seconds.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon baking soda and a pinch of salt. Beat until well combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
  5. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually beat in 1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour until just combined.
  7. Stir in 1 1/2 cups (190g) rolled oats.
  8. Set aside 3/4 cup of the oat mixture.
  9. Press the remaining oat mixture into the prepared pan.
  10. In a separate saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups (300g) packed brown sugar and 1/2 cup (113g) butter over medium heat. Stir until melted and smooth.
  11. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  12. Whisk in 3 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  13. Stir in 1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour and 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  14. Spread the filling evenly over the oat crust.
  15. Top with 1 cup (140g) fresh or frozen pitted cherries.
  16. Dot with the reserved oat mixture and sprinkle with 1/2 cup (40g) chopped nuts (optional).
  17. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is light golden brown and the filling is set.
  18. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour.
  19. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the bars to set completely.
  20. Lift the bars from the pan using the foil overhang.
  21. Cut into squares using a serrated knife.
  22. Store covered at room temperature.
