Line a cookie sheet with parchment or foil.

Sprinkle the raw oatmeal evenly across the lined cookie sheet.

Place the oats about 4" from the broiler.

Toast the oats for 1 to 3 minutes keeping an extremely close eye on them (they can begin to burn in an instant, trust me)!

Line a 9"x13" baking pan with parchment and turn your oven down to 350 degrees F.

In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, toasted oats, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well combined.

Drizzle the butter into the flour mixture and continue to stir the mixture until the butter is well combined with all the dry ingredients (the mixture will be somewhat dry and crumbly).

Transfer 2/3 of the flour/oat mixture to the parchment lined pan and press it evenly over the bottom of the pan.

Bake this bottom layer for ~10 minutes (until just beginning to brown).

Remove bars from oven and evenly sprinkle on all the chocolate chips.

Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of the chocolate chips.

Evenly crumble the the remaining flour/oat mixture over the condensed milk.

Bake bars uncovered for another 20 minutes or so.

Remove bars from the oven and let them cool completely.

When the bars are cooled completely cut into squares and EAT!!!
