Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Light brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Dark chocolate chunks
• 0.5 cup Sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave. Allow it to cool slightly so it doesn’t cook the eggs when added.

Step 3

Whisk in the granulated sugar and light brown sugar until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the sugar mixture, whisking until fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined—don’t overmix!

Step 7

Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Reserve about 1 cup of the batter and set it aside. Spread the remaining batter evenly into the prepared baking pan with a spatula.

Step 9

Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the top of the batter in the pan, spreading it into an even layer.

Step 10

Drop spoonfuls of the reserved batter over the sweetened condensed milk layer. Use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl the two layers together, creating a marbled effect.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake!

Step 12

Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack (about 1-2 hours).

Step 13

Once cooled, lift the bars out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into squares or rectangles.

Step 14

Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
