Oatmeal Fudge Bars Recipe: Easy Copycat

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 3 cups rolled oats
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 cups chocolate chips
• 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup of butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
3. In a separate large bowl, combine the oats, flour, and baking soda. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture using an electric mixer until everything is thoroughly combined.
4. Press ¾ of the oat mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13-inch baking pan, creating an even crust.
5. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the chocolate chips, condensed milk, remaining ⅓ cup of butter, and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth, approximately 2 minutes. Pour the chocolate mixture evenly over the oatmeal crust.
6. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining ¼ of the oatmeal mixture over the chocolate layer. Gently press and swirl the oatmeal into the chocolate for a marbled effect.
7. Bake in the preheated oven until the top is a light golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. The chocolate center should still appear slightly moist. Let cool completely on a wire rack for approximately 45 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
