Would you share (here or on Pinterest) the Fabulous Fudge Bars you mentioned? I was thinking about making that Turtle Cake for our friends that are coming to visit but I realized that they are going to be out with different friends almost every night they're here, all of whom know he has a huge sweet tooth, so I think bars might be a little better than big slices of cake since he'll probably be bombarded with sweets.

You got it!
BREAD & CHOCOLATE'S FABULOUS FUDGE BARS
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
4 cups old-fashioned oatmeal
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
Filling:
3 tablespoons butter
1 can (about 14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
2 cups good-quality semisweet chocolate
1 cup pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla
To prepare oven: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
To make dough: In large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar, scraping bowl as necessary. Beat in eggs. In another bowl, combine oatmeal, flour, baking soda and salt. Stir well to combine. Add oat mixture all at once to egg mixture. Mix until combined, scraping bowl.
To make fudge filling: In saucepan over low heat, combine butter and sweetened condensed milk. Cook over low heat, stirring carefully to avoid scorching, until butter melts. Add chocolate, pecans and vanilla. Remove from heat.
To assemble and bake: Press one-third of dough on bottom of 9-by-13-inch pan. Top with fudge filling. Crumble remaining oat mixture on top. Bake for 15 minutes. Reverse pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until top is slightly golden.
