    Recipe Introduction


    These bars are an all-time favorite.


    List of Ingredients


    • 1 cup butter
    • 2 cups packed brown sugar
    • 2 eggs
    • 2 tsp vanilla
    • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 tsp baking soda
    • 3 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
    • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
    • 1 (12 oz) pkg semisweet chocolate pieces
    • 1 cup chopped walnuts
    • 2 tsp vanilla


    Instructions


    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    2. Set aside 2 T of the butter. In a large mixing bowl beat the remaining butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar; beat until well mixed. Beat in eggs and 2 tsp vanilla. In another large bowl stir together flour and baking soda; stir in oats. Gradually stir dry mixture into beaten mixture. Set aside.
    3. In a medium saucepan combine the reserved butter, the sweetened condensed milk, and chocolate pieces. Cook over low heat until chocolate melts, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in walnuts and the 2 tsp vanilla.
    4. Press two-thirds (about 3 1/3 cups) of the oat mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 15x10x1" baking pan. Spread chocolate mixture over the oat mixture. Using your fingers, dot remaining oat mixture over the chocolate.
    5. Bake about 25 minutes or until the top is lightly browned (chocolate mixture will look moist). Cool on a wire rack. Cut into 2x1" bars.


    Final Comments


    Makes about 75 bars.

    MAKE AHEAD TIP: Line the baking pan with foil, extending the foil over edges of pan. Prepare and bake bars in foil-lined pans as above. Cool; lift bars out of pan on the foil. Place uncut bars in freezer bag or container. Seal, label, date, and freeze up to 1 month. Thaw bars at room temperature about 15 minutes. Once thawed, cut into bars.
