Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 sticks, 6 ounces butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed (light or dark)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 15.25- ounce butter pecan cake mix
  • 2 1/2 cups rolled oats

Filling

  • 1 14- ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
  • Pinch salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Prep the oven and pan. Heat oven to 350 F and grease and flour a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
  • Prepare the cake mixture. Beat 6 ounces of butter with the brown sugar until light; beat in eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Slowly beat in the cake mix and oats until well blended.
  • Make the filling. In a saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk with chocolate chips, a pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon butter. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until chocolate chips are melted, and the mixture is smooth.Stir in the chopped pecans.
  • Assemble the layers. Spread about two-thirds of the cake batter in the prepared pan. Spoon filling over the cake layer and spread to cover. Pinch pieces of the remaining batter and arrange the pieces evenly over the filling.
  • Bake the revel bars. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until set and golden brown.
