Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 1 cups - butter (1 cup = 2 sticks) divided
- 2 cups - packed brown sugar
- 2 - eggs
- 4 teaspoons - vanilla extract divided
- 2 1/2 cups - all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons - baking soda
- 3 cups - quick-cooking rolled oats
- 1 cans - sweetened condensed milk (Not evaporated milk)
- 2 cups - semi-sweet chocolate chips (2 cups = 12 oz. pkg)
- 1 cups - sliced almonds divided
Directions:
Heat oven to 350° F. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the butter.
Beat the remaining butter in a large bowl on medium speed with mixer for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar; beat until combined. Beat in eggs and 2 teaspoons of the vanilla.
Stir together flour and baking soda in another large bowl; stir in oats. Gradually stir flour mixture into beaten mixture. Set aside.
Combine reserved 2 tablespoons butter with sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips in a medium saucepan. Cook over low heat until chocolate melts, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in 3/4 cup of almonds and remaining 2 teaspoons vanilla.
Press 2/3 (about 3-1/3 cups) of oat mixture into bottom of an ungreased 15-by-10-by-1-inch jelly-roll pan. Spread chocolate mixture over oats mixture. Using fingers, dot remaining oat mixture over the chocolate. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup almonds.
Bake about 25 minutes or until top is lightly browned (chocolate mixture will still look moist). Cool in pan on wire rack. Cut into 2-x-1-inch bars.
