Ingredients
For the Oatmeal Batter:
- 3 cups quick-cooking oats
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups packed brown sugar
- 1 cup softened butter
- 2 large eggs

For the Fudge Filling:

- 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Step-by-step instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- Combine oats, flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl to make the oatmeal batter.
- In a large bowl, beat brown sugar and butter until fluffy, then mix in eggs and vanilla; stir this into the flour mixture until just combined.
- Make the filling by heating condensed milk, chocolate chips, butter, and salt in a saucepan over low heat until smooth; then stir in walnuts and vanilla after removing from heat.
- Press two-thirds of the oatmeal batter into the bottom of the prepared pan, spread the filling evenly over it, then dot with the remaining batter.
- Bake the bars in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, then let them cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into 24 bars.
Notes
Ensure bars are completely cooled on a wire rack before cutting to achieve clean slices and prevent crumbling.
