Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Grease 15" x 10" x 1" jelly roll pan. Cream 1 cup Golden Crisco shortening, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla in a large mixer bowl until smooth and creamy. Gradually add flour, baking soda and cinnamon, mixing until smooth. Stir in oats. Set aside.
Heat sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips and 2 tbsp. Golden Crisco shortening on low heat, stirring often, just until melted and smooth. Stir in orange rind and nuts. Press 2/3 cup of the oat mixture (about 4 cups) into greased pan. Spread filling mixture evenly over crust. Sprinkle remaining oat mixture evenly over filling.
Bake at 350F (180C) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden. Cool, then cut into bars. Excellent for freezing. |
