Good Eating Monday: Chocolate Nut Bars!

Eagle Brand is famous for their "Magic Bars," made with their Sweetened Condensed Milk, but they actually have tons of recipes.
I have a Eagle Brand recipe book and that's where this particular recipe came from.
For someone who doesn't like coconut, these Chocolate Nut Bars
are a perfect solution! They taste very much like Magic Bars, but just chocolate & nuts!

Chocolate Nut Bars
Ingredients
1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, melted
1 (14oz) can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
2 cups (12 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips, halved
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts

Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a 10 x 13 baking pan with cooking oil spray. 

2)  In small bowl, combine crumbs and melted butter, then pour into baking pan and press evenly over bottom. (I usually use my hand.)

3)  In a small saucepan over medium heat: combine 1 cup of chocolate chips, vanilla and Eagle brand, stir together over heat until chips are all melted.

4)  Spread chocolate mixture over crumb crust---I found adding it by spoonfuls until the crust was mostly covered worked easiest, since chocolate cools and stiffens up pretty fast, so "spreading" seemed to tear up the crust. It will even out while baking, so it doesn't have to be perfect.

5)  Sprinkle melted chocolate first with 1 cup of remaining chocolate chips, then nuts, then lightly press down.

6)  Bake 25 to 30 minutes. Cool. Chill, then cut into bars. 
I kept my in a covered container in the frig until needed.
