Oatmeal Cream-Cheese Butterscotch Bars

This recipe is from Anne Burrell on the Food Network - she's great!

Oatmeal Cream-Cheese Butterscotch Bars
2 sticks butter, at room temperature
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (11-ounce) bag butterscotch chips
1 (8-ounce) pkg. cream cheese, at room temperature
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9x13 pan and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, oats and brown sugar and mix to combine. Add the 2 sticks of butter, the cinnamon and the butterscotch chips. Mix on low so you don't break up the chips too much. Press half of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan in an even layer, reserve the other half. Bake in the preheated oven just until slightly golden and set, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool slightly.
Beat together the cream cheese, condensed milk, and vanilla until smooth. Spread evenly over the baked crust. Sprinkle the remaining half of the oatmeal mixture over the cream cheese. Bake until the top is golden, about 40 minutes.
Cool and chill before cutting. Run a knife around the edge of the pan, and cut into 2-inch squares with a sharp knife and serve.
Call yourself a superstar!!!
