1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup (6 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (14 ounces) can sweetened condensed milk (NOT evaporated milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dash of salt
Store-bought tube of decorating icing, optional
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
With mixer on medium speed, beat cake mix, oil and egg in large bowl until crumbly. Stir in nuts. Set aside 1 cup of crumb mixture. Firmly press remaining crumb mixture on bottom of greased 13-by-9-inch baking pan.
In small saucepan, melt chips with condensed milk, vanilla and salt. Pour evenly over prepared crust. Sprinkle reserved crumb mixture evenly over top. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until edges are firm. Cool. Cut into bars. Drizzle with icing, if desired. Store loosely covered at room temperature. Makes 24 to 36 bars.
