Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent Chocolate Cake Bars.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for a delicious treat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs.
Step 3
Grab a fork and mix everything together until just blended—no need to overdo it! Once that’s done, set the bowl aside and let the magic begin.
Step 4
Next, take a saucepan and place it over medium heat.
Step 5
Add in the sweetened condensed milk, milk chocolate chips, and butter.
Step 6
Stir continuously for about 2 to 4 minutes, watching as the ingredients melt together into a smooth, luscious mixture.
Step 7
Once it’s all melted and silky, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 8
Now, let’s build our layers! Take half of the cake mixture and press it firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, creating a solid base.
Step 9
Pour the rich chocolate mixture over this layer, spreading it evenly to cover every inch.
Step 10
With the remaining cake mixture, take small handfuls and flatten them between your hands.
Step 11
Gently place these pieces on top of the chocolate layer, repeating this process until all the cake mixture is used up.
Step 12
It’s okay if it’s not perfect; those little bits will create a delightful texture! Pop the baking dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 20 minutes, or until the top turns a lovely golden brown.
Step 13
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible! Once baked, allow the dish to cool completely before cutting it into bars.
Step 14
Enjoy the sweet satisfaction of your homemade creation, perfect for sharing or savoring all to yourself!.
