How to Make Super Easy Chocolate Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 30 seconds.
- Add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Beat until well combined.
- Gradually add 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour.
- Beat on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Press two-thirds of the crust mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
- In a medium saucepan, combine one 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk and 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended) and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Spread the chocolate filling evenly over the unbaked crust.
- Sprinkle the remaining crust mixture evenly over the filling.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- For softer bars, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before cutting.
- Cut into bars or use cookie cutters for fun shapes!
