Ilene's chocolate-oatmeal revel bars

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Butter; softened (don't use margerine...spoils the image)
2 cups Brown sugar; packed
2 Eggs
2 teaspoons Vanilla
2½ cup Flour
1 teaspoon Baking soda
3 cups Rolled oats; uncooked
12 ounces Chocolate chips (2 cups)
2 tablespoons Butter; additional
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease a jelly roll pan. In large mixer bowl, cream the 1 cup butter and brown sugar. Add eggs, one and a time, and beat until fluffy. Blend in vanilla. Add flour and baking soda, and mix well. Stir in (by hand) rolled oats. Spread ½ to ¾ of the mixture into the jelly roll pan, and pat down evenly.

In small heavy saucepan, combine chocolat chips, milk, and 2 tablespoons butter. Stir over low heat until the chocolate is melted. Pour chocolate mixture evenly over the oat mixture in the pan. Dot with reserved oat mixture.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are browned and the center feels firm. Cool in the pan, then cut into small bars.

***Note: Gosh, these are simple...just my style...and they are soooo rich.

Be sure to cut them into small bars.

Last year I sent these often to the kids at college. They were a continual request...

For PMS symptoms....bake this recipe. Take them out of the oven and cut into squares while still warm. Pour a huge glass of milk. Fill a plate up with the bars, and take bars and milk into the living room. Turn the tv on to an old Jimmy Stewart movie...any one will do. Watch movie; eat bars; cry; wipe eyes. Repeat as often as necessary......
