Sweet squares for an afternoon snack or in-room treats. Few ingredients required, easily adaptable to whatever happens to be in the pantry, and quick and easy to mix together.
| 300 | ml | sweetened condensed milk (1 can) |
| 2 | c | graham wafer crumbs |
| 1 1⁄2 | c | chocolate chips, divided |
| 1⁄2 | c | nuts or coconut or raisins or toffee bits or... (optional) |
Preheat oven to 325 F. Grease an 8" square pan (or line with parchment paper).
In a large bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, graham crumbs, 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, nuts or any other ad-ins if using.
Press into prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes, until almost done. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup chocolate chips over top and bake for 5 minutes more. Remove from the oven and immediately spread the chocolate chips around (while they're hot and melty) to evenly glaze the top.
Allow to cool before slicing into 12 - 16 squares.
I think this was the first recipe I ever baked when I was a kid. I haven't made it in many many years, but it was always popular and quick to disappear from dessert trays. My recipe card from Mom calls these 'Those Yummy Squares'.
