FUDGY OATMEAL BAR RECIPE

I found this recipe 14 years ago in the Fort Worth Star Telegram Newspaper.

I make it frequently for family and church get togethers.  Very yummy.

FUDGY OATMEAL BARS

1 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup Butter Flavored Crisco

2 eggs

2 1/4 cup flour

1 tsp baking soda

3 cups Quick Cooking Oats

Mix sugars and Crisco together.  Blend in the eggs.

In a separate bowl combine flour and soda.  Stir into wet....then stir in oats.

Press 3/4 of the dough into the bottom of 9"x13" greased pan or stone.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

FILLING:

In a small saucepan on low heat, melt together:

One can of Sweetened Condensed Milk

1 stick of butter

1 cup of semi-sweet Chocolate Chips

Heat until melted.

Stir together to make a rich chocolate filling.  Pour this evenly over the dough.

Crumble the remaining dough on top of the chocolate sauce.

BAKE at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes until top is brown.

Let cool for 15 minutes before cutting into bars.

These are great warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup...

or great by itself.

 

Enjoy!  Keep Calm and Kerri On!
