Chocolate Crumb Bars

2 sticks of butter-softened

2 cups flour

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 tsp. salt

1-12 oz. pack of semi-sweet chocolate chips (divided)

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1 tsp. vanilla

1 cup chopped nuts

Beat butter until creamy. Beat in flour, sugar, and salt until crumbly. With floured fingers press 2 cups of the floured mixture onto the bottom of a 9 x 13 greased (glass) baking dish. Reserve remaing mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Warm 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in small heavy saucepan over low heat; stirring until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Spread over hot crust. Stir chopped nuts, remaining chocolate chips and crumb mixture together. Sprinkle over chocolate filling. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until center is set. Cool in pan, on a wire rack.

Serves 2 1/2 dozen (I cut them into small bite size portions)

I can't take credit for this super-yummy recipe, a lady I work with gave it to me after she brought them into work! They are SO YUMMY! Enjoy!
