Chewy Oatmeal Fudge Squares

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chewy Oatmeal Fudge Squares.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, grab a rimmed cookie sheet and give it a light spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to blend together softened butter, eggs, and a splash of vanilla extract until everything is beautifully combined and creamy.

4. Step 4

   Next, gently fold in the quick-cooking oats, baking mix, and brown sugar, mixing until you have a delightful, even mixture.

5. Step 5

   Now, let’s create that luscious chocolate layer! In a saucepan over low heat, combine condensed milk, chocolate chips, margarine, a dash of vanilla, and a pinch of salt.

6. Step 6

   Stir continuously for about 6 to 8 minutes, or until the chocolate chips melt into a smooth, dreamy mixture.

7. Step 7

   Once your chocolate is ready, take three-quarters of the oat mixture and spread it evenly across the prepared baking sheet, creating a solid base.

8. Step 8

   Pour the melted chocolate mixture over this oat layer, spreading it gently to cover every inch.

9. Step 9

   Then, take small pieces of the remaining oat mixture and scatter them randomly over the chocolate, adding a rustic touch to your creation.

10. Step 10

    Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let it bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely golden brown.
