Oatmeal Fudge Bars
Servings: 15
Ingredients
Oatmeal Cookie Dough
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
Fudge Center
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 14 ounces can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9x13 nonstick brownie pan. (I lined my pan with parchment paper to make it easier to lift the bars out and cut).
- In a mixing bowl, combine butter and brown sugar until creamed. Mix in eggs and vanilla.
- Add in flour, baking soda and salt and mix until combined.
- Stir in oats.
- Spread 2/3 of cookie mixture into the pan.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine fudge ingredients until melted.
- Spread fudge over cookie mixture in the pan.
- Drop the remaining cookie mixture by spoonfuls on top of the fudge layer.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until top is brown.
- Cool completely before cutting.
Notes
- You can use quick or old fashioned oats for these bars but don't use instant oatmeal. The instant oatmeal is too fine and doesn't work well for baking.
- Line baking dish with either parchment paper or foil to make it easy to remove the bars and cut once they have cooled.
- Be sure to not over mix the cookie dough.
