1 cup (225 ml) shortening (I use half butter flavored Crisco and half real unsalted butter)
2 cups (475 ml) brown sugar
2 eggs (I use Jumbo eggs, large or x-large are fine)
3 tsp (15 ml) vanilla
1-1/2 cups (350 ml) flour
1 tsp (5 ml) baking soda
1-1/2 tsp (7 ml) salt
4 cups (950 ml) quick cooking oats
2 cups (475 ml) chopped nuts
2 tbsp (30 ml) butter
12 ounces chocolate chips
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

Cream the shortening (and butter if you use it) until fluffy; add sugar and beat thoroughly.
Add eggs and 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla; beat well.
Sift flour, baking soda, and 1 tsp (5 ml) of salt; add to mixture and mix well.
Mix in 1 cup (225 ml) of the nuts, and then set aside one cup of this dough.
Press remaining dough into greased 9inch x 13 inch pan.
In saucepan, melt butter and chips, then add 1/2 tsp (2 ml) salt and the milk; stir, but do not cook.
Add remaining 1 cup (225 ml) of nuts and 2 tsp (10 ml) vanilla to the chocolate mixture.
Spread this mixture over the dough in the pan.
Crumble the 1 cup (225 ml) of reserved dough over the chocolate and bake at 350 degrees (175 C.) for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool before cutting.. if you can wait!
