Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the 1 cup of unsalted butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and the eggs, one at a time, and beat until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
Stir in the oats until well incorporated. Set aside 1 1/2 cups of the oat mixture for topping.
Press the remaining oat mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the base crust.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Stir until melted and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped nuts and the second teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Pour the chocolate filling evenly over the oat crust in the pan, using a spatula to spread it out if needed.
Crumble the reserved oat mixture over the top of the chocolate layer, creating a crumbly topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
