How to Make Oatmeal Fudge Bars I

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 7x11 inch baking pan.
Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups rolled oats, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Press two-thirds of the oat mixture into the prepared baking pan. Reserve at least 1 cup of the oat mixture for topping.
**Prepare Filling (Option 1: Sweetened Condensed Milk):** In a saucepan, combine 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk, ¼ cup butter, 1 cup chocolate chips, and a pinch of salt. Melt over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Add ½ cup chopped pecans (optional).
**Prepare Filling (Option 2: Regular Milk):** In a saucepan, combine ¼ cup butter, ½ cup milk, 1 cup chocolate chips, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Melt over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Add ½ cup chopped pecans (optional).
Pour the chosen filling evenly over the oat base.
Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the filling and press down gently.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
