Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and white sugar in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer for about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, beating on low speed until fully combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and rolled oats. Gradually mix this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until combined.
- Scoop out ⅔ of the oat mixture and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk, microwaving in 30-second intervals until smooth.
- Pour the melted fudge evenly over the pressed oat base, spreading it gently to the edges.
- Using the remaining oat mixture, drop spoonfuls on top of the fudge layer.
- Bake for about 45 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan for about 1-2 hours before slicing.

Notes
For optimal chewiness, use old-fashioned rolled oats and cream the butter thoroughly. Store bars in an airtight container for freshness.
