Can’t Leave Alone Bars

These bars truly live up to their name. Every time I bring them to a gathering, they are the first to go, and I am always asked for the recipe.

Original recipe makes 1 9×13-inch pan

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Mix cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs together in a bowl using a fork until just blended. Divide mixture in half.
  3. Combine sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until melted, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Press half the cake mixture into a 9×13-inch pan; pour chocolate mixture over cake mixture. Take a small handful of remaining cake mixture and flatten between your hands; lay atop chocolate layer. Repeat with remaining cake mixture.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until topping is lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
