1️⃣ Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips + peanut butter in 30-sec bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.
2️⃣ Mix in Condensed Milk
Pour in sweetened condensed milk and stir until fully combined (batter will be thick).
(Optional: Stir in vanilla or salt for extra depth.)
3️⃣ Bake to Gooey Perfection
Pour into a parchment-lined 8x8-inch pan (greased if no parchment).
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-18 mins—center should still look slightly soft.
Cool completely before slicing (they firm up as they cool!).
