Oatmeal Cashew Fudge Bars

I have been making this recipe forever and it is definitely a favorite especially when I am in the mood for a chocolaty gooey make your teeth tingle dessert. I have to admit I have been a chocoholic probably from the moment I was born. I have a chocolate fix almost every day and to everyone's dismay I refuse to change my ways. So if you are a chocolate lover, then this is the recipe for you.
