Instructions

  1. Grease a 9x13 baking pan; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl cream butter and sugar; add eggs and vanilla.
  3. In a small bowl, sift flour, baking soda, and salt; add to creamed mixture. Mix in oats.
  4. In a heavy saucepan, mix sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and butter; heat just until melted. Stir in vanilla and nuts if using.
  5. Spread 2/3 of the oatmeal dough (will be stiff) into prepared baking pan. Spread with chocolate mixture. Drop remaining 1/3 of dough on top by spoonfuls.
  6. Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely (if you cut them while they are still warm at all they will be gooey and fall apart), then cut into bars.
