Rival Bars

This recipe has been in our family since I was a kid. I've also seen these called rebel or revel bars.

Crust/Topping:
1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
2 1/2 cups oatmeal

Filling:
1 pkg. chocolate chips (12 oz.)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 T. butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla

For crust: Mix together butter, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, flour, baking soda and oatmeal. Pat 2/3 of mixture onto bottom of a 9 x 13 pan. Reserve remaining mixture.

For filling: Melt chocolate chips (in double boiler or microwave). Add sweetened condensed milk, butter, salt and vanilla. Pour over the oatmeal layer. Drop pieces of remaining oatmeal mixture over the top. Drop with teaspoons. Bake 25 to 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
