Ingredients
- 15.25 oz White or yellow cake mix
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, and 1 egg. Stir until a thick dough forms.
Step 3
Press two-thirds of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, creating a flat base layer.
Step 4
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 5
Pour the chocolate mixture evenly over the dough base in the pan, spreading it out gently with a spatula.
Step 6
Crumble the remaining dough over the chocolate layer, leaving parts of the chocolate visible for a marbled effect.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden but still soft. Do not overbake, as you want a gooey texture.
Step 8
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely before slicing into squares.
Step 9
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for a week.
