I have not tried these yet, but will for the holidays.

• Ready In: 1 hr
• Yields: 24-36 bars

Ingredients

• 1  cup butter, softened
• 1  cup powdered sugar
• 1 1⁄4 cups unsifted flour
• 1⁄3 cup  cocoa
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 2  teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1  cup  semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1⁄2 cup  chopped  nuts

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350. Reserve 2 tablespoons butter. In large mixer bowl, beat remaining butter and sugar until fluffy. Add flour and cocoa; mix well. With floured hands, pressed into greased 13"x9" pan. Bake 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in medium saucepan, combine reserved butter and sweetened condensed milk; cook and stir until mixture thickens slightly, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Pour over crust. Bake 10 to 15 minutes longer or until golden brown. Remove from oven; immediately top with chips. Let stand 1 minute; spread while warm. Top with nuts. Cool. Cut into bars.
