Oatmeal Fudge Food

OATMEAL-RAISIN COOKIE FUDGE

Steps:

• Line a 9-inch baking pan with enough parchment paper to have an overhang on all sides. Set aside.
• Whisk cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, salt, cloves, and allspice together in a small bowl. Set spice mixture aside.
• Cook oats and walnuts in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until toasted and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour into a medium bowl and stir in 1/2 cup raisins. Allow to cool slights.
• Heat sweetened condensed milk over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until simmering, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat; add white chocolate chips, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and the spice mixture. Return to low heat and whisk until thick, completely smooth, and free of lumps. Do not worry if the mixture seizes, it will smooth out as it heats.
• Remove from heat and stir in oats, walnuts, and raisins. Pour into the prepared pan and use a spatula to smooth it in evenly. Sprinkle with coarse sugar and 2 tablespoons raisins. Lightly press them into the top. Place pan in the refrigerator and allow fudge to cool completely, at least 4 hours.
• Remove fudge from the pan using the parchment paper edges. Run a knife under hot water for 1 minute, then wipe dry. Cut fudge into sixty-four 1-inch pieces.

OATMEAL FUDGE SQUARES

• Mix butter, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Add oats, baking mix, and brown sugar; mix to combine.
• Stir condensed milk, chocolate chips, margarine, vanilla, and salt in a saucepan over low heat until chocolate chips have melted, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Spread 3/4 of the oat mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Pour the chocolate mixture over the top. Place small pieces of the remaining oat mixture randomly over the chocolate.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool before cutting into squares.

OATMEAL CHOCOLATE FUDGE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Cream butter, sugar and salt in a mixer.
• Add flour and oatmeal, blend until it holds together.
• Heat milk in a pan and add chocolate chips.
• Use low heat and stir until the chips are melted and you have a smooth chocolate cream.
• Using a 9x13 pan, press 3/4 of the dough mixture in the pan, spreading and patting it to cover the whole surface.
• Pour chocolate cream over crust.
• Crumble last bit of dough over the chocolate, creating a third spotty layer.
• Bake for 30 minutes, until lightly browned.
• Cool, cut, transfer to a wax paper lined tray and allow to firm up a bit before serving- I leave them for a few hours and they become fudge-like, but they are still yummy if you eat them sooner than that.
• You can also use a smaller pan- I have used a 10" square and just baked a little longer for a thicker bar, which required a longer cooling time as well.
• Note: removing to the wax paper is necessary-- if you cool them too long in the pan they are hard to remove, as the bottom crust tends to stick to the pan.
