Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter
  • 2½ cups flour
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3 cups oats
  • 1½ cups chocolate chips
  • 1 14-ounce can (1¼ cup) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • ½ cup chopped nuts, optional
Instructions
  1. Cream the butter and the sugar.
  2. Beat in the eggs, 2 tsp vanilla, baking soda and 1¼ cups flour.
  3. Stir in the remaining flour and then the oats.
  4. In a medium saucepan, cook the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk and 2 Tbsp butter over low heat until the chocolate has melted.
  5. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in 2 tsp vanilla and the nuts if desired.
  6. Pat ⅔ of the oat mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 10x15 pan or the equivalent.
  7. Spread the chocolate mixture over the oat crust.
  8. Dot the chocolate with the remaining oat mixture.
  9. Bake the bars at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until the cookies are lightly golden. The chocolate will still look moist.
  10. Let the cookies cool and then cut them into small bars. {They are rich and gooey so a small bar goes a long way.}
