Happy Friday!
I thought I would share a sweet treat with you this fine Friday, I am posting it just in time for possibly a little weekend baking! This recipe doesn't take that much time, smells divine in the oven and has loads of gooey chocolate! I made these sweet treats for my team at work, and my personal taste tester loved them too!
The one thing I loved about this recipe was the ingredients list. The ingredients are pretty basic, and I had all the ingredients on hand in my cupboard - which is always an added bonus for me!
Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 C. Butter
2 C. Packed Brown Sugar
2 1/2 C. Flour
2 Eggs
2 t. Vanilla
1 t. Baking Soda
3 C. Quick Cooking Oats
14 Oz. Can Sweetened Condesned Milk
12 Oz Bag Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 C. Chopped Walnuts ( I left them out)
2 t. Vanilla
Directions:
1- Reserve 2 T. of the butter for later.
In a large bowl cream together the remaining butter and brown sugar.
2- Beat in your eggs and 2 t. vanilla into the brown sugar and butter.
3- In a seperate bowl combine your oats, flour and baking soda. Mix till combined and slowly add the oat mixture into your butter/sugar/egg. Stir well till combined and set aside.
4- In a medium sauce pan combine the 2 T. butter you set aside along with your sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips.
5- Cook until chocolate melts. Remove from heat and add your 2 t. vanilla and chopped walnuts if using.
6- In a 15 x 10 x 1 inch pan press about two thirds of your oat mixture into the bottom. Now top your pressed oat mixture with your melted chocolate, carefully smooth the chocolate evenly over the oats.
7- Using your fingers dot the remaining oat mixture over the chocolate.
8- Bake for 25 minutes in a 350 degree oven or until the oat top is lightly browned. Cut into bars and enjoy!
Happy Friday everyone!
