- Add in the flour, baking soda, salt, and old-fashioned oats and mix everything thoroughly. With greased hands or a rubber spatula press 2/3 rds of the oatmeal mix on the bottom of the prepared baking sheet. Saving 1/3 rd of the dough for adding to the top later.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, over medium heat. Mix the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, butter, and salt. After all the chips are melted and the chocolate mixture becomes smooth remove it from the heat. Carefully add in the vanilla, this is where you have the option to add in the chopped nuts if you so choose. Pour over the oatmeal base and smooth out to the edges.

- Bake for 25- 30 minutes. Cool completely before you cut them. These are good for a week in an airtight container or store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. If you stack them in a container for storage layering wax paper between the layers to help them not stick together.
