2. Soak Oatmeal: In a large mixing bowl, pour the boiling water over the oatmeal and margarine.

3. Let it Stand: Allow the oatmeal mixture to stand for about 10 minutes, allowing the oats to soften and absorb the water.

4. Mix in Sugars and Eggs: After the oats have soaked, stir in the sugar and brown sugar until well combined. Then, add the eggs and mix until smooth.

5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the oatmeal mixture, stirring until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.

6. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in half of the chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

7. Prepare Baking Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.

8. Pour Batter: Pour the prepared batter into the greased and floured baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

9. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips and chopped walnuts over the top of the batter. Alternatively, you can mix the nuts into the batter before pouring it into the pan.

10. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

11. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the Mud Squares to cool in the pan for a few minutes before slicing them into squares. Serve them warm or at room temperature, either on their own or with a scoop of your favorite ice cream for an extra special treat!
