A new Holiday treat

Looking for a recipe to make this weekend for a Christmas party?? Or maybe you want to stay in, put on your comfy clothes and bake something really special for your family? Here’s one I found on Pintrest.  I went and visited her site and she has many more tasty ideas to try!

While on Pintrest I find so many interesting ideas. from arts and crafts to recipes.  I found this recipe and it might be my new favorite cookie bar!  I love baking for Christmas and was looking for my basic oatmeal cookie recipe and playing with the idea of making bars for gifts and ran across this bloggers site.  She has lots of great recipes to try. 
Copycat Starbucks Oatmeal Fudge Bars
(Makes 36 bars)
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons real vanilla
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
1 14-ounce can (1-1/4 cups) sweetened condensed milk

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Set aside 2 tablespoons of the butter. Beat the remaining butter with mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar and beat until well mixed. Beat in eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla. In another large bowl stir together flour and baking soda then stir in oats. Gradually stir dry mixture into beaten mixture. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan combine the 2 tablespoons butter, the sweetened condensed milk, and chocolate . Cook over low heat until chocolate melts, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla.

Press three quarters of the oat mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 15×10x1inch baking pan (or something close to it). Spread chocolate mixture over the oat mixture. Use your fingers and dot the remaining oat mixture over the chocolate. Tip: Wet your fingers slightly to help prevent sticking.

Bake for about 25 minutes or until top is lightly browned (chocolate mixture will still look moist). Cool on a wire rack. Cut into 2×2 inch inch bars.
