Instructions
 

To make the bars:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined. Stir in the oats until evenly distributed.
  • Press about two-thirds of the oatmeal dough into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Set aside the remaining dough.

To make the filling and assemble:

  • In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate, and butter. Stir frequently until smooth and melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  • Pour the chocolate filling over the base and spread to cover. Crumble the remaining oatmeal dough over the top.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are set. The center will still look slightly soft but will firm up as it cools.
  • Let the bars cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares or bars.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 4 days.
