How to Make Can T Leave Alone Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine one 15.25 oz box of yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 3 large eggs. Mix well.
  3. Press 2/3 of the batter firmly into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. (Tip: Wet your fingers to prevent sticking!)
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine one 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1/4 cup unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
  5. Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the pressed batter in the pan.
  6. Drop the remaining 1/3 of the batter by rounded teaspoons over the chocolate layer.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars using a pizza cutter. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving for optimal texture.
