'Can't Leave Alone' Bars image

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,...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

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

Steps:

  • 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!

These bars were a disaster! They were too dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making these again.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still pretty good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

I'm not usually a fan of peanut butter, but these bars were surprisingly good! The chocolate and oats really balance out the peanut butter flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.
