2 cups brown sugar
1 cup margarine
2 large eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla -- divided
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups quick cooking oatmeal
12 ounces chocolate chips
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup nuts -- chopped
Cream margarine and sugar. Mix in eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Stir together the dry ingredients and mix with the oatmeal. Combine all with the margarine and sugar. Spread 2/3 of this mixture in a 15 x 10 x 1 inch jelly roll pan.
Prepare filling by melting over a double boiler the chocolate chips, eagle brand milk, and salt. When completely melted, add the nuts and the other 2 teaspoons vanilla. Cover the oatmeal layer already in the pan with the chocolate filing. With the remaining oatmeal batter, dot it evenly over the chocolate layer. Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes. Cut into squares when cool.
NOTES : These are wonderful. They are easy to prepare and they make a lot of cookies.

White Chicken Chili
2 pounds chicken breast -- cooked, pulled into pieces
16 ounce jar fresh salsa -- from refrigerated section
4 15 ounce cans small white beans -- 2 drained, 2 not
1 teaspoon cumin
8 ounces package pepper jack cheese -- cubed or shredded
Combine all ingredients and cook until cheese is melted and thoroughly hot.
Notes: There's not much liquid, so I didn't drain the other two cans of beans and it was just right.
The type of salsa you purchase will define how hot it is. I usually buy the medium heat kind, but if you don't like a lot of spice, you might buy the mild.
NOTES : This is delicious. Have more cheese available to serve on top.
