[Recipe] Triple Chocolate Gooey Bars

Triple chocolate gooey bars.

I discovered gooey bars after reading a Buzzfeed article. That article took me to a great blog called Crazy for Crust, where I found the recipe for lemon gooey bars.

I made those lemon gooey bars. Instead of using white chocolate, I substituted shredded coconut. Lovely.

After making the lemon gooey bars, I got to dreaming about gooey bars and the infinite possibilities you could come up with to make them.

These triple chocolate gooey bars are the next incarnation of gooey bars I decided to try. I had a few white chocolate chips and a can of chocolate sweetened condensed milk in my pantry. That’s all I needed to get going. Picked up a chocolate cake mix, and here we are.

Triple chocolate gooey bars.

Thank you, Crazy for Crust, for this fantastic, versatile, easy recipe. Well, I thank you, but my hips – my hips are not talking to you.

I changed the original recipe for gooey bars ever so slightly after making my first batch, adding a bit more sweetened condensed milk for a bit more gooeyness.

Enjoy!

[Recipe] Triple Chocolate Ooey Gooey Bars

Makes 16 bars

1 box cake mix (dry)
1 egg
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup chocolate sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350F.

Open the cake mix and put the dry powder in a large bowl. Do not prepare the cake mix as you normally would if you were baking a cake.

Add the egg and the butter to the dry cake mix. Mix well. It will be difficult to mix, as it makes a very stiff batter.

Press 2/3 of the batter mixture into a greased 8×8 inch baking pan.

Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the batter.

Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the chocolate chips.

With the remaining batter, break off chunks of batter, press them slightly between your fingers, and put them on top of the sweetened condensed milk. Try to cover as much area as you can.

Bake the bars for 25 – 30 minutes, depending on how gooey you like them.

Cut into 16 squares.
