Chocolate In-Betweens
The In-Betweens refer to the filling, but in our house it refers to meals, my Dornettes are always nabbing one of these in-between!

DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a food processor, mix the flour, salt, and butter.
- Stop when everything is blended into a fine meal (but before it forms a ball).
- Add in the brown sugar.
- Add the oatmeal, and pulse it to integrate.
- (Don't over-mix or the oats will get too chopped up.) Press about half the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9"x13" to 11"x14" pan.
- Reserve the other half.
- In a saucepan, combine the condensed milk and chocolate chips, and heat the mixture (on low heat), mixing constantly, until the chips are fully melted and integrated.
- Pour over the crust in the pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining dough over the top, coating it as evenly as possible, and then lightly press it (without letting the chocolate ooze up).
- Bake until lightly brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.
- Variations.
- Coffee In-Betweens: Omit the chocolate chips, and instead use four cups of strong coffee, boiled down to 1/2 cup or less of liquid.
- Fruit In-Betweens: Omit the chocolate chips and condensed milk, and instead spread a layer of your favorite flavor of preserves in between the oatmeal cookie layers.
- (My personal favorite is blackberry.).
