Ingredients
½ cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
1.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
2.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, then mix in vanilla and peanut butter.
3.
In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together, then gradually add to the creamed mixture, mixing well.
4.
Stir in the rolled oats until just combined, then press about two-thirds of the mixture into the prepared pan.
5.
For the fudge layer, melt chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter in a microwave or double boiler.
6.
Pour and spread the fudge mixture evenly over the crust layer, then crumble the remaining oat mixture on top.
7.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until edges are golden brown and the top is set.
8.
Once baked, let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
