Revel Bars

Back to my chocolate and oatmeal dessert kick…healthy?  Ehhhh, not so much.  But wonderfully – buttery, ooey-gooey, milk- chocolatey bars…yes.  Definitely.  And so worth it.  This favorite recipe is not one my own, but comes from Mandy’s Recipe Box.

Revel Bars

The first time I remember having these sweet treats was back in my tween years.  I was simply in awe of these bars.  Questions raced through my mind such as: How have I not known of these? When will I have them again?  Who can make them?  After I had them during a weekend volleyball tournament, I requested them for every volleyball treat thereafter.

Then, I started noticing them appearing on an array of platters – noticeably those at funerals.  They are something I often a staple dessert that I  think of for church potlucks, banquets, and funerals, too.  A few years later, I realized the name was not “Rebel Bars” but “Revel Bars.”  I get it now 🙂  Simply irresistible.

  1. I want to make the “Revel Bars” which sounds and looks delicious, however I don’t think the directions are complete. It looks and seems like they should be baked after they have been assembled, but there is no oven temp or amount of time mentioned in the directions. I would appreciate it if you could email me that information.

    1. Hi Pam! Thanks for your comment – I’m glad you mentioned because the bake temp was left off. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Enjoy this yummy treat!

  2. I just wanted to say thank you for putting the rest of the baking directions down for your Revel Bars. I might even try making them tonight since I have all the ingredients and instructions now.
