Category: Bars

1 cup butter, softened
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
1 1/4 cups sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350. Beat butter in a mixer until creamy. Beat in next 3 ingredients until crumbly. With floured fingers, press 2 cups crumb mixture onto bottom of a greased 13x9 inch baking pan, reserving remaining crumb mixture. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown.

Warm 1/2 cup chocolate chips and condensed milk in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Stir in vanilla and pour over crust. Stir walnuts into reserved crumb mixture and sprinkle over chocolate filling. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until center is set. Cool in pan on wire rack.
