This is a really good, but VERY EASY brownie bar recipe. I bought all the ingredients and let Grace try her hand at them. They turned out GREAT!

Attempting to slice these dense bars while they remain warm guarantees a collapsed structure and crumbs instead of clean squares. Letting the pan chill completely allows the sweetened condensed milk and melted chocolate components to set properly before portioning. Standard metal baking pans conduct heat faster than glass alternatives, requiring careful observation during the 30 to 35 minute baking window to prevent the edges from burning before the center sets.
Prepared bars retain their texture well when stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days. For longer storage, individual squares freeze successfully for up to two months. Separate each layer with parchment paper inside a freezer-safe container to prevent sticking. Thaw frozen portions overnight in the refrigerator before serving, or warm them briefly in a 350 degree oven for five minutes to restore the original texture.
