There are quite a few recipes out there for “marble brownies” or “cheesecake brownies” but this Duncan Hines version— straight from their website and brownie mix boxes– is one that I prefer.
Any of the Duncan Hines brownie mixes work fine in this recipe.

Oatmeal fudge bars are so easy to make and are a chocolate lover's DREAM come true! #desserts #chocolate #easyrecipes

Here is how I got the recipe. One of the teachers at the school brought a batch of these yummy oatmeal fudge bars to work last month and put a big tray of them by the coffee pot in the teacher’s lounge.  We all loved them so much that they were gone before lunchtime!  I asked Joanna, the teacher who made them, for the recipe and here it is for you.

Easy Fudgy Oatmeal Chocolate Bar Recipe

Preheat oven to 350°

Grease a 9 x 13” baking pan

Note: an astute reader noticed that I used a smaller, square baking pan in the photo below. I had split the recipe into two pans to bring to school for a treat for our staff.  Two 8X8 pans or one 9X13 works the same!

Ingredients

2 cups brown sugar

1 cup butter

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

2 ½ cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

3 cups old fashioned oatmeal

1 pkg chocolate chips [12 oz]

1 can sweetened condensed milk [14 oz]

1 tsp vanilla

2 T. butter

Directions

Combine everything EXCEPT the last four ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

Spoon ½ of the batter into a grease baking pan and press it in with the back of a big spoon.

Combine chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and 2 T. butter.

Heat them in a microwavable bowl until melted.*  

*Tip – about 30 seconds at a time.

Stir.

Spoon the melted chocolate chip batter onto the other in the pan.

Add the rest of the oatmeal batter to the top.

Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes.

Run a sharp knife around the outer edge then cool completely.

Cut into squares about 1 – 2 inches.
