Irresistible Chocolate Revel Bars: A Classic Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 cups quick cooking oats
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups packed brown sugar
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the oatmeal batter: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the oats, flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the brown sugar and butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until just combined.
4. Make the chocolate filling: In a medium saucepan, heat the condensed milk, chocolate chips, butter, and salt over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and glossy, approximately 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the walnuts and vanilla extract.
5. Press 2/3 of the oatmeal batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Spread the chocolate filling smoothly over the oatmeal layer, then crumble the remaining batter evenly over the filling.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into 24 delicious bars.
