Chocolate Chunk Bars

If you love chocolate, I mean really love chocolate, this recipe is for you. If you are one of those people who say, "I just couldn't finish it. It's just too rich," maybe this recipe won't hit the spot! I fall squarely in the first group, myself. So read on for chocolatey, squishy, finger lickin' gooey bars.

1 cup flour

1/4 cup flour

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter or margarine

14 oz. condensed milk

1/4 cup cocoa*

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla

1/2 tsp. baking powder

8 oz. chocolate cut into chunks.

1 cup chopped nuts

powdered sugar

Combine 1 cup flour with the sugar. Cut in the margarine. Press into a 9x13" pan sprayed with Pam. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix the condensed milk, cocoa, egg, 1/4 cup flour, vanilla and baking powder. Then stir in the chocolate and nuts. Spread over the crust and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes more.

When it cools down, sprinkle with powdered sugar through a fine mesh strainer. Cut into chocolatey, gooey bars and try to eat just one.

*I love the new Hershey's Dark chocolate cocoa and prefer walnuts in this recipe. They don't get overwhelmed in the chocolate and add texture against the creamy filling.
