Chocolate Fantasy Bars

I first encountered these when we went on a picnic with some friends of ours (the Stephensons) and she made this for dessert. I saw them and I thought, Oh. Brownies. I guess I'll have one. After my first of twenty servings, I began to wonder, what are these wonderful little morsels?!?! She's shown me up AGAIN!!! I had to get the recipe, and low and behold they are SOOOO easy!!! You can switch the cake mix up with different flavors too! Thanks Mel! For being an ever present reminder that I'm not the Greatest cook in the world!! ;)

Ingredients
1 pkg. chocolate cake mix (2 layer)
1/3 C. vegetable oil
1egg
1 C. chopped nuts
1 C. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Dash salt
Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With mixer on medium speed, beat cake mix, oil and egg in large bowl until crumbly. Stir in nuts. Set aside 1 c. of crumb mixture. Firmly press remaining mixture on bottom of a greased 9x13 baking pan. In small sauce pan, melt chips with condensed milk, vanilla and salt. Pour evenly over prepared crust. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture evenly over top. Bake at 25-30 minutes or until edges are firm. Cool; cut into bars. Drizzle with tube decorating icing if desired. Store loosely covered at room temperature.
