Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 1.5 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved.
Mix in the vanilla extract and salt, then add the rolled oats. Cook and stir for 3-4 minutes until the oats are slightly toasted and sticky. Remove from heat.
Press about two-thirds of the oatmeal mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish to form an even base layer.
In another medium saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter, chocolate chips, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat.
Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the oatmeal base layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Crumble the remaining oatmeal mixture over the top of the fudge layer, gently pressing it down to adhere.
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Once chilled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 16 squares and serve.
Store leftover squares in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
