Oatmeal Fudge Bars

I am not sure if anyone looks here anymore. It has been so long since I have posted. I am sorry. Life has just gotten crazy and this is the last thing on my long list to do. Here is a recipe I have not used in a while. I thought it would be a great one to take to a little Christmas party. I hope you like it as much as I do.

Oatmeal Fudge Bars

1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
4 cups of oatmeal (you don't want to fill it up to the top)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda

Cream the butter and brown sugar together. Add the eggs and vanilla, and mix well. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix till combined.

Fudge Middle

1 pkg. chocolate chips
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp butter

Place in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir until combined. If the chips are not melted, put in microwave for another 30 seconds.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 in. pan. Place half of the oatmeal mixture in the bottom of the pan. Spread out. Pour the fudge mixture over the top. Take the rest of the oatmeal mixture and spread in clumps over the top. Bake for 15 minutes. It should be slightly underdone.

Let cool completly and enjoy.
