Oatmeal Brownies

I have never claimed to be a photographer, and I don't think the picture does this yummy treat justice. (It actually looks really cool in the pan before it is cut, but I didn't get a picture of it this time.) However, I will claim to know when a dessert is yummy, and this one is!

Oatmeal Brownies

1 cup (2 cubes) margarine - softened

2 cups brown sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 teaspoon soda

1 teaspoon salt

3 cups quick oats

2 1/2 cups flour

Cream butter and sugar. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Sift together dry ingredients and add them to butter and sugar mixture.

Spread 2/3 oatmeal mixture on bottom of greased 10x15x1 inch pan (pan size is important!) Spread filling over top. Dab the rest of the oatmeal mixture on top. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.

Filling

1- 12 oz. package chocolate chips---melt and then add:

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons butter (or margarine)

1 teaspoon vanilla
