Fudgy Chocolate-Oatmeal Bars
List of Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, divided
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla, divided
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups quick-cooking oats
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
2 cups (12-ounce package) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup sliced almonds, dividedRecipe
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the butter. Beat the remaing butter in large bowl on medium speed or mixer for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar, beat till combined. Beat in eggs and 2 teaspoons of the vanilla.
Stir together the flour and baking soda in another large bowl; stir in oats. Gradually stir flour mixture into beaten mixture. Set aside.
Combine reserved 2 tablespoons butter, the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips in a medium saucepan. Cook over low heat till chocolate melts, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in 3/4 cup of the almonds and remaining 2 teaspoons vanilla.
Press two-thirds (about 3 1/3 cups) of the oats mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 15 1/2x10 1/2x1-inch jelly-roll pan.
Spread chocolate mixture over remaining oats mixture. Using your fingers, dot remaining oats mixture over the chocolate. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup almonds. Bake about 25 minutes or till top is lightly browned (chocolate mixture will still look moist). Cool in pan on wire rack. Cut into 2x1-inch bars. Makes about 75 bars.
