Fudge Nut Bars

I baked some cookies and bars today. It was fun being in the kitchen listening to Christmas music as I baked. While I was making the Fudge Nut Bars I began to think of the friend that gave me the recipe. I met Janet when we were stationed at Ft. Benning, GA in 1977.  We lived next door to each other and became fast friends. Janet loved to entertain and had a lot of good recipes.  I am glad she shared this one with me. Tomorrow I will share them with the ladies at our Christmas event.

Fudge Nut Bars

1 C. butter
2 C. brown sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 C. flour
1 t. salt
1 t. soda
3 C. oatmeal
2 t. vanilla

Combine above ingredients.
Spread 3/4  of oatmeal mixture in bottom of 13"x9" pan.

Filling:
