I have had them not set up right on me before too. I normally cook mine a little bit longer and add a little more oatmeal to help with that problem. I know the recipes say to cook the mixture for 1-2 minutes before adding the oatmeal, but I think it needs at least 3-4 minutes.

Did you follow the recipe exactly? Did you possibly measure wrong? Without seeing the recipe and ingredients that's the only thing I can think of.

I have had this happen. Once I tried adding more oatmeal but this just make them come out dry. I also have just tried letting them set out over night and they eventually hardened up. Since I don't know what your recipe says, I can only guess that it is close to the one I have. In mine, you boil them for 1 minute exactly. No more, no less.

you didnt put enough oatmeal in it or you let the choc. get to hot that would be one of the reason why they wouldnt harden. If its neither of them 2 reason then im not sure why i myself make them a good bit and its happend to me before but thats usually the reason why they wouldnt harden up.
