Description

These Double Chocolate Fantasy Bars are the ultimate crowd-pleasing dessert, combining a crumbly chocolate cake mix crust with a luscious, gooey filling. The base is made by mixing chocolate cake mix with oil, egg, and chopped nuts, creating a sturdy yet tender foundation. The topping is a simple but divine blend of sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and a touch of vanilla, which bubbles up during baking to create a caramel-like layer. Baked until golden and bubbly, these bars offer a perfect contrast of textures: the crunchy nutty crust, the soft cake-like interior, and the rich, fudgy chocolate topping. They are incredibly easy to make using pantry staples, making them ideal for potlucks, bake sales, or a quick weekend treat. Let them cool completely before cutting to ensure clean slices.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177&# 194;°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, vegetable oil, and egg.
  3. Beat the mixture on medium speed until it becomes crumbly and well combined.
  4. Stir in the chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the crumb mixture.
  5. Reserve about 1 1/2 cups of the crumb mixture for the topping, setting it aside.
  6. Press the remaining crumb mixture firmly and evenly onto the bottom of a greased 13x9-inch baking pan to form the crust.
  7. In a small saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and a dash of salt.
  8. Cook the saucepan mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  9. Pour the chocolate topping evenly over the prepared crust in the baking pan.
  10. Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the top of the chocolate layer.
  11. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  12. Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  13. Once cooled, cut into squares or bars and store loosely covered at room temperature.
