Chocolate Chip Dream Bars
Author: Sweetness, by Christy Jordan / Workman Publishing
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Serves 20
Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray, for coating the baking pan
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 2½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
- ¾ cup (1½ sticks) butter, melted and cooled
- 1½ cups dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2½ cups baking mix (such as Bisquick)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
- Combine the sweetened condensed milk with 1½ cups of the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat at 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. (Or, melt together in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth.)
- Place the melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla, eggs and baking mix in a medium-size bowl and stir until well-combined. Stir in the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips.
- Spread two-thirds of the batter in the bottom of the prepared pan. Spread the melted chocolate mixture on top and spread to the sides. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining batter over the top.
- Bake until golden brown on top, 25 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.

Chocolate Chip Dream Bars will keep in an airtight container at room temperature, for up to 5 days.
