Ingredients List
- Preheat Oven to 325F
- FOR THE OATMEAL LAYER
- 2 stick of butter, softened
- 2 c. of brown sugar
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1/3 c. milk
- 2 1/2 c. flour
- 2 tsp. baking soda
- 3 c. rolled oats
- FOR THE FUDGE LAYER
- 1 (14 oz.) can of condensed milk
- 6 tbsp. of butter
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 c. chocolate chips
Directions
For the Oatmeal Layer:
In the bowl of a standmixer, fitted with paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugar until fluffy, about 6 minutes on medium-high speed. Then add in eggs, one a time and mix, on medium-slow speed, until incorporated. Slowly stir in vanilla and milk.
In a separate bowl- whisk together flour, baking soda and rolled oats. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, combining until just incorporated.
For the Fudge Layer:
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt together condensed milk and butter, constantly stirring. Once butter is melted, add in vanilla and stir. Add in chocolate chips, one cup at a time. Mix with spatula until all the chips have melted. Then add in next cup and continue stirring until all chips have melted. Remove from heat.
To Assemble:
Grease a 9x13 baking dish with butter or shortening (if you do not do this- your bars will stick to your baking dish). Pour half of the oatmeal batter into the baking dish. Evenly spread batter in baking dish using a spatula. Pour the fudge over the oatmeal layer. Again using a spatula to evenly distribute fudge. Finally, top fudge with remaining oatmeal batter. This is a bit tricky as the fudge is soft. This is what I did- place spoonfuls of oatmeal batter on top of fudge- evenly placing spoonfuls across fudge layer. Then gently using a spatula- smear together the oatmeal batter spoonfuls (if that makes sense :) It may not completely cover fudge- this is okay! The batter will spread when baking!
Baking this is also tricky. The original recipe stated 350F degrees for 25 minutes. My bars were nowhere near done. I recommend cooking them at a lower temperature for longer- to keep the inside cooking but the outside from burning. Bake at 325F degree for 45-60 minutes--but keep an eye on it and check it every 10 minutes after the first 30 minutes have passed.
