Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 3 cups | Quick-cooking oatmeal |
| 2 1/2 cups | Flour |
| 1 tsp | Baking soda |
| 1/2 tsp | Salt |
| 1 cup | Butter |
| 2 tbsp | Margarine |
| 2 cups | Brown sugar |
| 2 | Eggs |
| 2 tsp | Vanilla |
| 1 1/2 cups | Chocolate chips |
| 1 can (14 oz) | Sweetened condensed milk |
| 2 tbsp | Butter (for chocolate mixture) |
| 1/2 cup | Walnut pieces |
| 2 tsp | Vanilla (for chocolate mixture) |
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare Pan: Use an ungreased 15×10-inch jelly-roll pan.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, stir together flour, oats, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream 1 cup of butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla until well combined.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Stir in the dry ingredients mixture, mixing until completely combined.
- Prepare Chocolate Mixture: In a heavy saucepan, combine chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until the chocolate and butter have melted.
- Add Nuts and Vanilla: Remove the chocolate mixture from heat, then stir in walnut pieces and vanilla.
- Assemble Bars: Pat 2/3 of the dough into the prepared pan (damp fingers work best). Spread the chocolate mixture evenly over the dough.
- Add Remaining Dough: Take the remaining dough and “dot” the chocolate layer with small bits until it’s all used up.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Be careful not to overbake; the chocolate should still look moist when done.
- Cool and Cut: Allow the bars to cool on a wire rack before cutting them into squares.
- Storage: Store the Chocolate Revel Bars in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
