Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups quick-cooking oats
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for filling)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (for filling)
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 cup of unsalted butter with 2 cups of brown sugar until creamy.
Add the eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients until fully incorporated.
Stir in the 3 cups of quick-cooking oats until evenly distributed. Set this oatmeal mixture aside.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and the optional chopped nuts if desired.
Press two-thirds of the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking pan to form an even crust.
Spread the chocolate mixture evenly over the oatmeal crust.
Take small amounts of the remaining oatmeal mixture and sprinkle it over the top of the chocolate layer, leaving some areas of chocolate exposed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and set.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
Serve and enjoy your Chocolate Revel Bars!
