Fudgy Oatmeal Bars

OOOOHHHH FUDGE!!!

 Salty oatmeal crust, ooey gooey fudgy middle.

Sinfully indulgent.

One of the VERY best things about this recipe, is the fudgy center stays gooey!  Whenever I make these I stick a dozen or so in the freezer for an, "I need something sweet right now or I might throat punch someone" kind of moment. The fudge is soft even while frozen!

Truth.



Crust

Cream together:

1 1/2 cups butter

3 eggs

3 c. brown sugar

2 t. vanilla (I use Rona's homemade) ;)

Sift together and add:

3 3/4 c. flour

5 c. oatmeal

1 1/2 t. baking soda

2 t. salt

Press 2/3 of the dough on the bottom of a large jelly role pan.

Fudgy middle

Put two cans of sweetened condensed milk and 3 T. butter in a microwave safe bowl.  Heat for a minute, take out and stir. Put back in for another minute and stir. When the butter is melted and the s&c milk seems warm, add 2 c. milk chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Add 1t. vanilla and 1/2 t. salt.

Pour melted fudge and spread over the dough. At this point feel free to shove your face in the fudge bowl and have your way with it.

Crumble remaining dough evenly on top of fudge.

Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the top of the entire pan. Just because you can.

Bake at 350* for about 35 minutes or until crumbles are golden.

This is how it will look before it's baked.

And after:

FUDGE YEAH!!!!
