For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips or add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the sweetened condensed milk mixture. To prevent the crust from sticking, line the baking pan with parchment paper before greasing with cooking spray. Cool the bars completely before cutting to ensure clean, even slices.

Apr 2, 2025Be careful not to overbake them; they should still be a little gooey in the center.
