Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) Devil’s food cake mix
- 1 cup (melted) Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 oz (1 can) Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the devil’s food cake mix, melted butter, and eggs. Stir until a thick dough forms.
Divide the dough in half. Press one half evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create the base layer.
In a small saucepan over low heat or in a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and salt. Heat gently, stirring constantly, until the chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the base layer in the pan.
Take small portions of the remaining dough, flatten them slightly with your hands, and place them on top of the chocolate layer. It’s okay if some of the chocolate peeks through—it will create a marbled effect when baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are set and the top is slightly golden. Avoid overbaking as this can dry out the bars.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan.
Cut into 12 bars or your desired size and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
