Bake Time

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, walnuts, 6 tablespoons butter and baking soda. Press oat mixture firmly on bottom of greased 13×9-inch baking pan. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
2. In medium saucepan over medium heat, combine remaining 2 tablespoons butter and EAGLE BRAND®. Cook and stir until mixture thickens slightly, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Spread evenly over baked crust. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
