Ingredients

Oatmeal layer:

14 tbsp butter room temp
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
2 ½ cups flour
3 cups oats I use regular oats, and they come out great

Chocolate filling:

1 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp butter
2 tsp vanilla
1 ½ cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions

Directions:

Oatmeal Layer

In a large mixing bowl beat 14 tablespoons butter for about 30 seconds. 14 tbsp butter
Add brown sugar to the bowl and mix the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. 2 cups brown sugar
Beat in the eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla to your sugar and butter mixture. Mix to combine. 2 eggs 2 tsp vanilla
Mix in the baking soda and as much flour as you can with the mixer. Stir any remaining flour and the oats. 1 tsp baking soda, 2 1/2 cups flour, 3 cups oats

Chocolate Layer

In a saucepan combine condensed milk, 2 tablespoons of butter, and chocolate pieces. 1 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk, 2 tbsp butter, 1 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
Cook over low heat until the chocolate melts, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. 2 tsp vanilla

Assembling the Revel Bars

Press 2/3 of the oat mixture into the bottom of an un-greased 15×10 baking sheet.
Pour/spread the chocolate filling over the oat layer.
Add the remaining oat mixture to the top of the chocolate layer in small dollops.
Bake at 350ºF for 20 – 25 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Cool completely. Seriously, let it cool completely otherwise it’s a mess to cut.

Notes

I like to put a little flour onto my hands when pressing the oat mixture into the pan. It helps to keep it from sticking to my hands.

I’ve found that using a plastic knife (not a disposable one, but a large lettuce knife) is easier to cut through these bars and the chocolate doesn’t stick as much.
