ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 1⁄2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1⁄2 cups quick-cooking oats (or old-fashioned)
-
Fudge
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1⁄4 cup butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional, I don't use them)
directions
- Grease a 9x13 baking pan; set aside.
- In a large bowl cream butter and sugar; add eggs and vanilla.
- In a small bowl, sift flour, baking soda, and salt; add to creamed mixture. Mix in oats.
- In a heavy saucepan, mix sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and butter; heat just until melted. Stir in vanilla and nuts if using.
- Spread 2/3 of the oatmeal dough (will be stiff) into prepared baking pan. Spread with chocolate mixture. Drop remaining 1/3 of dough on top by spoonfuls.
- Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely (if you cut them while they are still warm at all they will be gooey and fall apart), then cut into bars.

i made this yesterday for a candle party I was hosting, and I didn't have enough dough/batter to drop onto the top. I had a little left but found i needed more of it just to fill the bottom of my pan. Mine set ok was kinda messy and very dry on the bottom I wasn't sure if it was done so I might have over cooked it. It was still a hit and got eaten right up, I am just not sure if I would make it again. -
Very yummy and addicting, i ddnt give it a 5 star because its impossible to cut this neatly even if its chilled, i don't think the chocolate fudge will ever set. I baked it for about 50min (i burnt the bottom :( ) because i'm not sure if its done baking or not, for the tester inserted still has a lot of chocolate goops UPDATE:BAke the 2nd time, perfectly done at 30min. Have to be chilled for clean cut, once these are left at room temp, chocolate starts to become gooey.. -
These were great! Followed your directions exactly and they turned out just right! The fudge is gooey, but not runny and I haven't refridgerated them at all. I made them last night and couldn't resist scooping some out while it was warm into a bowl to try - really good, would have been great with some vanilla IC. But I have to say, they are much better today. Thanks for posting. -
this is sooo delicious. it's gooey when not refrigerated, but still 100% scrumtious
