Category: Bars

Chocolate Filling:
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12 oz) pkg chocolate chips
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla

Crust:
1/2 cup butter or
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups uncooked oatmeal

Preheat oven to 350. Add sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, 2 tbsp butter and vanilla to a saucepan. Stir constantly, on low heat, until melted and well combined. Set aside.

Cream 1/2 cup butter and brown sugar together. Add egg and one tsp vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, salt and soda. Add to margarine and sugar mixture. Stir in oatmeal.

Grease or spray bottom of a 13x9 inch baking pan. Pat 2/3 of crust mixture on bottom of pan. Pour chocolate filling over top of crust, smoothing evenly. Top with remaining dough mixture, patting it slightly into place. There will not be enough dough to cover top completely. Bake 20 minutes. Cool before cutting into bars.
