Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 14-ounce can Condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a small overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 3

Pour the melted butter into the dry ingredients and mix well until the mixture becomes crumbly and holds together when pressed.

Step 4

Reserve 1 cup of the crumb mixture and press the remaining mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips and condensed milk. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 6

Remove the chocolate mixture from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 7

Pour the chocolate filling evenly over the crust in the baking dish and spread with a spatula to ensure an even layer.

Step 8

Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the chocolate layer, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the chocolate layer is set.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1-2 hours.

Step 11

Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into 12 squares or desired portion sizes.
