Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Stir in the oats until well combined.
  7. Press two-thirds of the oat mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  8. In a small saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla extract. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate chips are melted and the mixture is smooth.
  9. Pour the fudge mixture evenly over the oat base in the baking dish.
  10. Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the fudge layer, pressing it down gently.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
