Double Delicious Cookie Bars (Killer Bars)

DOUBLE DELICIOUS COOKIE BARS ("Killer Bars")

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (I found a potato masher to be the most effective tool for this job)
1 (14oz.) can Sweetened Condensed Milk (NOT evaporated milk)
3 cups (18oz.) chocolate chips of your choice. I used 1 cup each of semi-sweet, milk chocolate, and white chocolate. The original recipe calls for 2 cups semi-sweet, 1 cup peanut butter chips. I'm sure any combination will work, just as long as there are three cups worth.

To prepare:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (325°F for glass dish).
If you want to make it easy on yourself and have perfectly cut bars, start by lining the entire pan with a sheet of aluminum foil. This is not necessary, but I found it to be helpful in removing the bars and having an easy cleanup. In a 13x9-inch pan, melt butter in oven. Remove pan from oven and sprinkle crumbs evenly over butter. Pour the condensed milk evenly over the crumbs, and spread to cover. Top with the chips of your choice (there will be a lot, this is good), and press them down firmly.
Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned, and allow to cool. If you used foil, lift up the edges to remove the entire sheet of bars from the pan and cut. Otherwise cut the bars in the pan like brownies. Store these loosely covered at room temperature.

To serve:
These are plenty addictive and deadly on their own, but also consider serving them with ice cream.

Makes 24 to 36 bars.
