Roloitas - Cookie Bar

My family loves this.  It is so yummy.

1 pkg Rolo's candies
1 cup chocolate chips (if you want).  
3/4 cup butter melted
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup flour
1 cup oats (I used old fashioned)
1 teaspoon baking soda

Add everything but the Rolo's and chocolate chips together.
Pat 1/2 the mixture in a 8x8 baking dish.  Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and layer the Rolo's candy over the crust.  As much or as little as you want.  Then if you want sprinkle the chocolate chips between the Rolo's. 
Crumble the rest of the mixture on top of the Rolo's and bake for another 15 -20 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned.
Cool completely before cutting.

Enjoy the goodness :)
