The chocolate cookie bars known as fudge jumbles easily tempt a crowd, made with a crumbly oat dough surrounding a fudgy butterscotch center.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup margarine
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup butterscotch chips
3/4 cup chocolate chips
2 tablespoons margarine
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
2 Mix flour, brown sugar, 1 cup margarine, eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon baking soda together in a bowl until combined. Stir in oats. Press 2/3 the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
3 Melt butterscotch, chocolate chips, and 2 tablespoons margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in condensed milk and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until smooth. Pour into the baking pan; crumble remaining oat mixture on top.
