You can make these easy bars anytime. All you need are a few ingredients and you are on your way to making a delicious, fudge topped bar. Fudge bars are great to bring to any function because they’re fast, easy and economical to prepare. The top transforms into a fudge layer that’s absolutely delicious. The fudge layer is made with sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips, so let’s face it, it has to be good.
Taste of Home
This recipe is another fantastic Taste of Home recipe. I found this recipe several years ago in one of my many Taste of Home cookbooks. The name of the recipe book was called, Fast Fixins’ with Mixes. (I don’t think I’ve ever made a bad recipe from any Taste of Home cookbook.) So when I needed a quick recipe to make for a party last weekend, I reached for this one. It was a huge hit!
Made With
The cast of characters in this recipe is short and sweet. One yellow cake mix, eggs, oil, one can sweetened condensed milk, milk chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter. I’m not sure about you but I keep these ingredients on hand at all times. When cake mixes are on sale in my area for $1.00, I stock up for recipes just like this. Same goes for sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips. Even though I have trouble keeping chocolate chips in my house. I like to sneak a handful here and there.
