Decadent Oatmeal Fudge Bars

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent Oatmeal Fudge Bars.

1. Step 1

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

2. Step 2

   In a spacious mixing bowl, blend together 1 cup of softened butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and eggs until the mixture is luxuriously smooth and well incorporated.

3. Step 3

   In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and rolled oats.

4. Step 4

   Gradually introduce this dry blend to the buttery mixture, using an electric mixer to combine until just mixed—don’t overdo it.

5. Step 5

   Next, take about three-quarters of the oat mixture and evenly spread it into an ungreased 9x13-inch baking pan, gently pressing it down to create a sturdy base.

6. Step 6

   In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt together chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, 1/3 cup of butter, and a splash of vanilla extract, stirring continuously until the concoction is silky and smooth, which should take around two minutes.

7. Step 7

   Pour this luscious fudge over the oat base, spreading it evenly to cover every inch.

8. Step 8

   With the remaining oat mixture, drop spoonfuls over the fudge layer, lightly pressing them down to create a delightful swirled effect.

9. Step 9

   Bake your creation in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is a golden brown and the chocolate remains delectably moist.

10. Step 10

    Once baked, let the bars cool completely on a wire rack for about 45 minutes before slicing them into tempting squares.
