      Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Step 1: Make the Oatmeal Dough<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n

        1. In a small saucepan, heat condensed milk and 2 tablespoons butter over medium-low.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

          2. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Bake for 20 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Remove from oven. Use a knife to gently swirl the softened chocolate into the top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          4. Return to oven for 5-10 more minutes until golden brown.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Step 4: Cool Completely<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Let bars cool in the pan for at least 2 hours (or they’ll fall apart).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Cut into squares. Hide half for yourself.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              Prep Time:<\/strong> 20 minutes | Cook Time:<\/strong> 30 minutes | Cooling:<\/strong> 2 hours | Total Time:<\/strong> ~3 hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Yield:<\/strong> 24 bars<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Difficulty:<\/strong> Easy (patience for cooling required)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Storage Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              How to Store:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              Keep revel bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. They actually get better on day 2\u2014the flavors marry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Freezing:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              Freeze uncut bars in the pan, wrapped tightly, for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then bring to room temp before cutting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Pro Tip:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
