Oatmeal Fudge Bars

This is the sinful version of my date bars. (I leave the nuts out)

Ingredients:
1 cup butter flavored shortening
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
4 cups oats 1 cup nuts (optional)
1 1/2 cup flour


12 oz package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp vanilla
2 Tbs butter
1/2 tsp salt

Directions:
1st set of ingredients:
Cream butter and sugar together. Mix remaining ingredients with sugar and butter mixture. Press 2/3 of oatmeal mixture into bottom of a greased 12x18 cookie sheet. Reserve the remaining oatmeal mixture for topping.

2nd set of ingredients:
Melt all together in a pan over low heat. Spread over oatmeal mixture.
Sprinkle reserved oatmeal over fudge topping. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-20 minutes (or until golden brown)

Let it cool before you cut into it or it turns into a gooey mess!
