1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
¾ cup (1½ sticks) butter or margarine, chilled and cut into 8 pieces
½ teaspoon salt
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup quick oats
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (6-ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13 × 9-inch baking pan. Set aside.
Using the steel blade of a food processor, combine the brown sugar, butter, and salt. Process to mix for 15 seconds (the mixture will be lumpy). Add the flour and oats. Pulse 2 to 3 times. Scrape the side of the bowl with a spoon. Repeat pulsing until the mixture is crumbly.
Press 2½ cups of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
In a 2-quart saucepan combine the condensed milk and chocolate chips. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, just until the chips melt. Pour over the crust in the pan, spreading evenly. Cover with the remaining crumb mixture. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until lightly browned. When cool, cut into bars.
Makes 24 to 30 bars
