  1. Super easy afternoon snack for the school kids! These bars turned out very moist and cake-like. Just how we like them! I used evaporated milk to make them a bit richer and also added chocolate chunks in the batter instead of drizzling chocolate on top. Thanks for the recipe that I will surely make again!
