A chocolate and condensed milk mixture forms an ultra gooey and rich chocolate middle for these bars. They’re like a cross between a brownie and a gooey chocolate chip cookie. So good!!

Ingredients

  • White Cake Mix– yellow cake mix can be used instead. I recommend using Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines cake mix.
  • Eggs
  • Vegetable oil
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • Chocolate Chips– I use semi-sweet.
  • Salted Butter

  3. Microwave the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and butter until melted. Pour chocolate mixture over the crust.
  4. Drop remaining batter by small spoonfuls over the chocolate mixture.
  5. Bake for 20 to 24 minutes. Let cool before cutting into squares.

    I made this today and it turned out well. I subbed shortening for the butter and mayo for the veg oil.

    I think I would like a ratio where two boxes of cakes, cake mix are used for the bottom layer and the topping and the same amount as the recipe for the chocolate layer. The proportion of cake mix crust and chocolate layer was not what I thought it was going to be.

    However, I do think this was a good recipe and my family really liked the bars.
