Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

ingredients
Crust
2 cups flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup pecan halves
Filling
2/3 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup chocolate chips
directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix all crust ingredients except pecans until fine. Press into the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch pan and sprinkle pecans over crust.
In a saucepan, heat butter and brown sugar on medium heat until entire surface boils, stirring constantly. Once mixture comes to a boil, continue boiling for just 1 minute stirring constantly. Remove from heat after 1 minute and pour evenly over pecans and crust.
Bake contents of pan 18-22 minutes or until whole top layer is bubbly (oven temperatures may vary).
Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Swirl chocolate chips once they begin to melt and allow to cool completely.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Just made these bars and my husband and I both agree that this recipe is a keeper! Easy and delicious. The only change I made was to toast the pecans.

Easy, fast recipe that was fantastic. I made for a girls weekend and it has been requested each time we get together. A 13 x 9 pan did not last more than 24 hours!
