2. Prepare Baking Pan: Grease a 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pan to prevent the bars from sticking after baking. This step ensures easy removal and serving.

3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients – oats, brown sugar, shredded coconut, salt, melted butter, melted margarine, and orange marmalade. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

4. Press Mixture: Transfer the mixture into the greased baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands to evenly press the mixture into the pan. Ensure it’s compact and evenly spread to achieve consistent baking.

5. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the bars turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent over-browning.

6. Cool and Cut: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely. This step is crucial as it allows the bars to set properly. Once cooled, cut the bars into desired sizes using a sharp knife.

7. Serve and Enjoy: Now, your Oatmeal Crunch Bars are ready to be served! Enjoy these delightful treats as a quick breakfast on-the-go, a sweet dessert, or a satisfying snack any time of the day.
