2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar

Recipe



Preheat oven to 350°.
In larger mixer bowl, beat margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla and instant coffee if desired; beat well.
Combine oats, flour, baking soda, salt and 1 cup walnuts; gradually add to creamed mixture. (Dough will be stiff; stir in last part by hand.) Reserve 2 cups dough.
With floured hands, press remaining dough evenly on bottom of 15x10-inch baking pan. Spread Chocolate Filling evenly over dough in pan. Crumble reserved dough over chocolate. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup walnuts over top.
Bake 25 minutes or until top is golden (chocolate will be soft). Cool completely. Cut into bars. Store covered at room temperature.
Chocolate Filling: In heavy saucepan, over low heat, melt margarine. Stir in cocoa. Add Eagle Brand®; cook, stirring constantly, until smooth and thick. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla.
