Chocolate Revel Bars

If you love chocolate and oatmeal then this is the bar for you. My only gripe about this recipe is that I find the Better Homes and Garden cookbook - not so easy to scan.

Ingredients:

Oatmeal base:

1 cup butter, softened
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
3 cups quick cooking rolled oats

Chocolate topping:

1 1/2 cups of semisweet chocolate pieces
1 14 ounce can of sweet condensed milk
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 tablespoons of butter

Preparations:

1. Mix oatmeal, butter, brown sugar, vanilla, flour, eggs and baking soda.
2. Take 2/3 of that mixture and pack it into a 9 x 13 pan.
3. Melt chocolate with butter over medium to low heat, add milk and nuts.
4. Pour chocolate topping over oatmeal base.
5. Drop remaining oatmeal mixture over chocolate.
6. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
