Ingredients:

 

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup baking cocoa
  • 1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup pecans, chopped

Preparation:

 

    • Preheat oven to 350°F.
    • Save two tablespoons of butter and set aside.
    • Put remaining butter in mixing bowl with sugar. Beat until light and fluffy. Add flour and cocoa, mixing well.
    • Butter a 13" x 9" pan, and press mixture into pan. Flour your hands slightly to keep from sticking while you do this. Bake for 15 minutes.
    • Meanwhile, combine reserved butter and sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan. Cook over low heat until mixture thickens slightly, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Mix together and pour over crust. Bake 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
    • Remove from oven and immediately top with chocolate chips. Let stand for a minute or so to allow chocolate to start melting, then spread while warm.
    • Top with nuts. Let cool. Cut into bars when ready to serve.
  • Store covered at room temperature.
