So off I went. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the egg and vanilla.

Mix until combined.

In a separate bowl mix the dry ingredients and add to wet. Mix until combined and press into the bottom of a 9×13. All I have right now is a 10×13, so that’s what I used.

Melt 6oz of chocolate with the sweetened condensed milk and butter in a double boiler, stirring frequently, until melted.

Pour over the cookie topping, and bake as directed.

Here is the final product! I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t this. I will say that I was pleasantly surprised. It tasted to me similar to ‘no bake’ drop cookies, minus the peanut butter, and I LOVE no bake drop cookies, so it worked for me.

Yum.

Turns out these bars were some of my husband’s favorites. I hope they can be yours too.
