Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 whole large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups quick-cooking oats
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for fudge layer)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.

Step 5

Stir in the quick-cooking oats until evenly incorporated. Set the oatmeal mixture aside.

Step 6

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is melted and smooth.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for the fudge layer.

Step 8

Press two-thirds of the oatmeal mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the base.

Step 9

Spread the chocolate fudge mixture evenly over the oatmeal base, taking care to leave a small border around the edges.

Step 10

Crumble the remaining oatmeal mixture over the top of the fudge layer, leaving some gaps for the fudge to peek through.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and slightly crisp.

Step 12

Allow the fudge jumbles to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting them into squares or bars. Serve and enjoy!
