These Chocolate Fudge Bars are filled with chocolate chips, brown sugar, oats and walnuts and are a unique use for chocolate chip muffin mix. They were first developed by my Partners at Martha White, and on their website they’re called “Sakes Alive” Chocolate Fudge Bars. The name is eye catching but, the taste just makes you want to jump up and say “sakes alive!”
