How to Make Fudgy Chocolate Oatmeal Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 15 ½ x 10 ½ x 1-inch jelly-roll pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ½ cups packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 2 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
- Stir in 4 cups rolled oats.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over low heat. Stir in 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk and 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in ¾ cup sliced almonds and ½ teaspoon of the vanilla extract.
- Press 3 ⅓ cups of the oat mixture into the prepared pan.
- Spread the chocolate mixture evenly over the oat layer.
- Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the chocolate layer.
- Sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup sliced almonds.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into 2 x 1-inch bars.
