Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Press the mixture onto the bottom of the prepared baking pan, creating an even layer.
-
In a separate bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate chips are completely melted and smooth.
-
Pour the chocolate mixture over the crust in the pan, spreading it out evenly.
-
If desired, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the chocolate layer, gently pressing them into the mixture.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan.
-
Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting them into squares or bars. For cleaner slices, you can refrigerate the bars before cutting.
