Chocolate Revel Bars

These bars are good for bake sales and freeze well for individual desserts at a later date. I like them best slightly warmed in the microwave.

Chocolate Revel Bars
8 oz. butter, softened
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
3 cups oats
Filling:
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
14 oz. can condensed milk
2 Tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Cover a 15 by 10 pan with foil or grease it.

Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl. Then add eggs and 2 tsp. vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy.

Combine flour, baking soda, salt and oatmeal. Stir into creamed mixture and set aside.

In saucepan, combine chocolate chips, condensed milk, butter and salt. Heat over low until mixture is melted. Stir in vanilla.

Spread 2/3 of oatmeal batter into greased pan. Cover with chocolate filling and spread evenly. Dot with remaining oatmeal mixture (or in my case, cover completely).

Bake 25 to 30 minutes. Cool and cut into squares.
