Fudge Jumbles

This recipe originally from Tricia Clark.

1 C shortening

2 C brown sugar

2 eggs

1 1/2 C flour

1 tsp.  vanilla

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

4 C quick oats

Combine all these ingredients in large mixer.

1 12 oz. package chocolate chips

1 can sweetened condensed milk

2 TBSP.  butter

1 tsp. vanilla

1/4 tsp. salt

Melt this over medium heat until well blended.

In large cookie sheet, spread 3/4 of the oatmeal mixture and press into the bottom to create a crust.  Pour melted chocolate mix on top and spread out evenly.  Crumble remaining oatmeal mix on top of chocolate, and bake at 350 for 15 minutes.  Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.
