I found this quote today, words of wisdom from some unknown source. I am adding another chocolate find to my 31 Day List of Nutella recipes. I have been making this recipe for years in different formats, I love the Nutella version the best. It's very rich, you only need a little piece, but look out you may not be able to stop at just one.

The ingredients you'll need are:

3 cups rolled oats (not instant)

2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 cups butter

2 eggs

1 cup each brown and white sugar

1 cup Nutella

1 can sweetened condensed milk

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Put the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Start with the oatmeal,

then add the sugars,

the flour, and baking soda. Mix it all together, then add the eggs and cut in 1 cup of the butter.

The dough will be crumbly.

Grease a 9 x 13" pan. Pat 2/3 of the dough into the bottom of the pan to make the crust.

Meanwhile dig out your double boiler. Add 1/2 cup of butter,

the sweetened condensed milk,

and 1 cup of Nutella.

On medium heat, stir until everything is melted and gooey and chocolaty. 

Pour the filling over the bottom crust while still hot.

Sprinkle the remainder of the crust over the Nutella filling.

It's ready for the oven. Cook at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

It comes out all golden brown.

Delicious!
