This is another great dish highlighting Old-Fashioned oats. I started making this baked snack dish called Oatmeal Squares when I worked as a Chef for a residential ballet school in Philadelphia. The ballet students were in high school and loved a little sweet treat at the end of their busy day of school and dance. They used to practice their dance moves all around the recreation room while they took turns eating. One of their favorite dances was Michael Jackson’s Thriller song. They were very entertaining and enjoyed an audience. I must admit they were fun to cook for. This was definitely one of their favorite snacks.
