Growing up my mom would often make this recipe for us, and it's safe to say that they disappeared almost as quickly as they appeared. The name comes from the fact that all of the ingredients are done in 2's. They are a yummy soft oatmeal bar with delicious chocolate frosting. They are a tried and true family favorite for me, hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
2 sticks of butter (1 cup total)
2 cups of brown sugar
2 eggs
2 cups of flour
2 cups of oatmeal
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Cream the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and beat well, then add the flour until well mixed, then add the oatmeal and mix until well incorporated. Press mixture into a greased 9x13 pan. Place pan in pre-heated oven and cook for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Frosting:
2 sticks Butter, Softened
4 cups Powdered Sugar
3/4 cups Cocoa Powder
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/3 cup Heavy Cream (more To Taste)
In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whip the butter until totally soft and smooth. Sift together the powdered sugar, cocoa, and salt, then add gradually to the mixer, scraping the sides as you go. (When combined, mixture will be very thick/crumbly.) Drizzle in cream and whip on high until smooth, scraping the sides as you go.
Once bars are completely cooled, frost with chocolate frosting. Then cut and enjoy their yummy goodness!
