Turron de Avena (Chocolate Oat Wafer Bars)

We were talking with my Argentinian friend one day about childhood treats that we miss (eg.  chocolate rice crispies, flapjacks etc) and he told me about one of his favourites which was Turron de Avena (chocolate oat bars). They are a staple in all Argentinian households!
 I happen tp LOOVE anything to do with oats so I asked him to send me the recipe they used to use so I could try it out. Guys they are unbelievably easy and ridiculously mourish!!
Try them out!

Ingredients:

- 3 packs of plain cream/water crackers (make sure that they have no salt or other flavourings)
-12 tbsp of sugar
-12 tbsp of milk
-12 tbsp of oats
-12 tbsp of cocoa (if want it extra sweet you can also use Nesquick)
-200 grams of unsalted butter

STEPS:

1) Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat
2) When it melts add the cocoa, sugar, milk and last the oats. Mix well and allow the mixture to cook for 3 mins (continue to stir so as to avoid it burning on the bottom).
3) Then layer the bottom of a tray with the crackers. Add a layer of the mixture (use a spatula to spread it evenly to create a layer).
4) Then repeat this so you have another 2 layers of crackers finishing off with a layer of the mixture.
5) Place the tray in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours so it can set, then cut into small squares and serve.....AND THATS IT!!
