Chocolate Revel Bars


1	cups	margarine or butter, softened
2-1/2	cups	flour
2	cups	packed brown sugar
2	eggs
4	tsp	vanilla
1 	tsp	baking soda
3	cups	Quaker oats
1-1/2	cup	semisweet chocolate chips
14	oz	(1-1/4 cups) sweetened condensed milk
2	tbsp	margarine or butter
1/2	cup	chopped walnuts


Beat one cup margarine with an electric mixer in a large bowl for 30 seconds.  
Add about half the flour, all the brown sugar, eggs, and 2 tsp of vanilla, and 
the baking soda.  Beat on low speed until thoroughly mixed.  Beat in the 
remaining flour.  Stir in the oats.  If your mixer will not mix this, use a 
wooden spoon and mix by hand.



In a medium saucepan simmer the sweetened condensed milk, butter, and chocolate
until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.  
Make sure to stir the mixture while heating it, and don't let the milk boil.  
Remove from the burner and add the remaining vanilla.  Add the nuts if you 
like walnuts.


Put 2/3 of the oat mixture (about 3-1/2 cups) into the bottom of an ungreased 
15 x 10 x 1 inch baking pan.  Spread the chocolate mixture over the oat mixture.  
Dot the chocolate with the remaining oat mixture.  Bake at 350F for 25 minutes 
or until lightly golden.  The chocolate should still appear moist.  Cool on a 
wire rack and cut into pieces.
