These are similar to the Fudge Jumbles you buy at your grocer.

1 cup butter or margarine
2 cups light brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups quick rolled oats, uncooked

Fudge Filling
1 (12 ounce) package chocolate chips, semi
    sweet, milk chocolate, or half of each
1 can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped nuts, optional
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Cream together butter and sugar. Mix in eggs and vanilla extract.

Sift together flour, baking soda and salt; stir in rolled oats. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture. Set aside while you make filling.

In a saucepan over boiling water, mix together chocolate pieces, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and salt. Stir until mixture is smooth. Stir in nuts and vanilla extract. Spread about 2/3 of oatmeal mixture in bottom of a greased 10 x 15-inch jellyroll pan. Cover with chocolate mixture. Dot with remaining of oatmeal filling. Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees F) for 25 to 30 minutes or until light brown.
