Fudge-Filled Bars

*Disclaimer--these are NOT healthy, but they are oh so YUMMY!!!!!

Fudge-Filled Bars

2 cups quick cooking oats

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 cup packed brown sugar

3/4 tsp salt

1 cup melted butter

1 cup chopped pecans

1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

2 TBS shortening (I substitute butter)

1 cup plain m&ms

 

**In a bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add butter and mix until crumbly. Stir in pecans. Set aside 1 1/2 cups for topping. ( I use closer to 2 cups.) Press remaining crumb mixture into a greased 13x9 baking dish.

 

In a saucepan, combine the milk, chocolate chips and shortening; cook and stir over low heat until chips are melted. Spread over crust; sprinkle with the reserved crumb mixture. Top with m&ms. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Makes about 2 1/2 dozen.

These are always a huge hit at potlucks!!
