Oatmeal Fudge Bars – a decadent layer of fudge sandwiched between two buttery oatmeal crumb crusts. What’s not to love?

I have an amazing friend named Judy. She is one of the kindest, most giving people I have ever met. She’s always helping me out. She knows I have a cooking blog, so when she made these yummy fudge bars, she took a picture, and e-mailed it to me along with the recipe, all typed up. I told you she was a good friend!

You can eat these oatmeal bars warm and gooey out of the oven, or let them cool completely. Either way they are super good!  The fudge filling in the middle is made of chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk, and it is to die for. I could just eat it by the spoonful. Good stuff!
