Whenever I need a quick dessert for a bake sale or get-together, I rely on this recipe, informs Tammy Haugen of Mayville, Wisconsin. I keep cake mixes on hand, so these chocolate chip-studded treats are a snap to stir up.
Ingredients:
1 package yellow cake mix (regular size)
2 eggs
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup water
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips, divided
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1 tablespoon shortening
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in 1-1/2 cups of chocolate chips and nuts.
2. Spread in a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
3. Melt shortening with the remaining chocolate chips; drizzle over the top. Cut into bars. Yield: about 3-1/2 dozen.
