OATMEAL-FUDGE BARS

Oatmeal Layer:
1/2 cup soft margarine
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 t vanilla
3/4 cup sifted flour
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
2 cups oatmeal
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Fudge Layer:
1 pkg. chocolate chips
1 T butter
1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/4 t salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 t vanilla

Grease 9 X 9 baking pan.  Beat margarine and sugar until fluffy.  Beat in egg and vanilla.  Sift flour with soda and salt into mixture.  Stir well.  Stir in oats and nuts.  Save one cup for topping.  Press remainder into prepared pan.  Preheat oven to 350.  In saucepan combine chips, salt, milk, and margarine.  Stir over heat until melted.  Remove from heat and stir in nuts and vanilla.  Spread chocolate mixture over oatmeal layer and distribute reserved oatmeal mixture over all.  Bake 25 minutes or until surface is lightly brown.  Let cool completely in pan on rack.  Cut into bars.

This one is all right.  There are other chocolate/oat cookies that I like more, but it's still pretty good.

CHOCOLATE CHIP SQUARES

2-3/4 cup sifted flour
2-1/2 t baking powder
1 lb. brown sugar
1 cup chopped nutmeats
1 t vanilla
1/2 t salt
2/3 cup shortening
3 eggs
1 pkg. chocolate chips

Mix and sift baking powder, flour and salt.  Melt shortening and add brown sugar.  Stir until well mixed.  Allow to cool slightly.  Add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition.  Add dry ingredients.  Then nuts, chocolate chips, and vanilla.  Pour into greased pan about 10-1/2 X 15-1/2 X 3/4".  Bake 25 to 30 minutes at 325 or until just done.  Glaze if desired with powdered sugar, vanilla and water mixed into a semi-thin frostin.  Allow to cool.  Then cut into bars.

This is a very easy and pleasant bar recipe.  Most of these ingredients are already on hand in the house usually, so it's a great little go-to recipe.  Everyone at bowling really woofed them down!
