Ingredients

• Butter - I use salted butter for this recipe. If you have unsalted butter just add an extra pinch of salt.
• Light brown sugar - Adds sweetness and a warm flavor.
• White sugar - For sweetness.
• Eggs - Binds the wet and dry ingredients together.
• Vanilla extract - For flavor. Vanilla will enhance the other flavors in a recipe.
• Flour - All purpose flour helps make the base of the bars.
• Baking powder - Adds texture and helps the oatmeal bars rise.
• Rolled oats - These give a chewy texture!
• Salt - Salt naturally enhances the other flavors.
• Semi-sweet chocolate chips - For that burse of chocolate flavor.
• Sweetened condensed milk - Helps the chocolate layer stay fudgy even after it cools.

Step Eight: ​Drop small dollops of the remaining batter onto the top of the melted fudge.Some chocolate will peek out.

Step Nine: Put the pan in the oven and bake for 45 minutes.You want the bars to be golden brown with only a very slight jiggly if you jiggle the pan.
