Microwave Oatmeal Granola Bars

2 cups quick-cooking oats

In a bowl, mix together oats and brown sugar.  Stir in melted margarine and corn syrup.  Press into a greased 9x9 inch microwave-safe dish.  Microwave uncovered for 4 minutes.  Sprinkle with chocolate chips.  Microwave for another 2 minutes or until chips are glossy.  Spread chocolate evenly over top.  Refrigerate for 15 – 20 minutes before cutting.

You can try different chips such as peanut butter chips and chocolate chips or butterscotch chips.
