This recipe is from Taste of Home Church Supper Desserts, one of a set of six published by Readers Digest and sold on QVC. Adjusted the recipe a little, I added some chopped pecans on top of the chocolate layer, and used Nestles Swirled Milk Choc & Peanut Butter Morsels instead of semisweet. Hope you will give these a try, they're easy and really delish!

Ingredients For 'can't leave alone' bars

  • 1
    white cake mix (18.25 oz.) no pudding mix
  • 2
    eggs
  • 1/3 c
    canola oil
  • 14 oz. can
    sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 stick
    butter, cut in cubes
  • 1 c
    semisweet chocolate chips

How To Make 'can't leave alone' bars

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F. Get a 13" x 9" pan, grease or spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • 2
    In large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, eggs and oil. Using a spoon, mix well until thick dough forms. Take 2/3 of dough and press into greased/sprayed pan. Press with your hands or spatula to evenly distribute. Set aside the remaining dough.
  • 3
    In microwave safe bowl, place cubed butter, chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Heat in microwave on 50% power until melted; it took mine about 45 sec to melt. Using a spoon, stir until mixture blends and is smooth.
  • 4
    Pour melted mixture over the crust in pan, making sure it goes into the corners well. It will be runny but thick.
  • 5
    I added this step: Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped pecans over the chocolate layer. Take remaining dough and tear into little pieces and drop all over mixture in pan.
  • 6
    Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, or until bits of dough are light golden and center seems set (it will still jiggle just a little).
  • 7
    Remove from oven and cool pan on wire rack. Cut when completely cool. Cut into 24 squares (6 long by 4 wide). Enjoy! These are really rich!
