How to Make Chocolate Butterscotch Oatmeal Squares
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Set aside 2 tablespoons of the butter for the filling.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and 1 ½ cups packed brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 3 cups of rolled oats.
- Press ⅔ of the oatmeal mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the reserved 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Stir in 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk, ½ cup butterscotch chips, and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in ¾ cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts recommended).
- Spread the chocolate-butterscotch mixture evenly over the oatmeal layer in the baking pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining ⅓ of the oatmeal mixture over the chocolate-butterscotch layer.
- Sprinkle the remaining ¾ cup of chopped nuts over the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
