Chocolate Revel Bars

INGREDIENTS

• 1 c. unsalted butter, softened
• 2 c. lite brown sugar, packed
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 ½ c. flour
• 3 c. quick-cooking rolled oats
• 1 ½ c. semisweet chocolate pieces
• 1-14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
• ½ c. walnuts, chopped or pecans
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 Degrees. Spray a 9X13 casserole baking dish and set aside.
2. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the butter. In a large bowl, beat the remaining butter with a mixer on medium for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar and baking soda. Beat until combine, scraping bowl as needed. Beat in the eggs and 2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat in the flour and stir in the oats.
3. To make the filling, melt the reserved 2 tablespoons of butter, add the chocolate chips, and sweetened condensed milk over low heat and stir until chocolate is melted. Remove from heat and stir in the nuts and 2 teaspoons of vanilla.
4. Press two-thirds (3⅓ cups) of oat mixture onto the bottom of the 9X13 baking dish.
5. Spread the filling over the oat mixture. Dot with the remaining oat mixture. Bake 25-30 minutes or until the top is light brown (filling will still look moist). Cool in pan on a wire rack.
6. Cut into bars.
