CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRY BARS
CRUST:
1 cup softened butter (2 sticks)
2 cups flour
2/3 cup powdered sugar
FILLING-
1 lb fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
1/2 cup strawberry preserves
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 12 ounce bag chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Lightly grease a 13×9 inch pan.
Combine flour, butter and powdered sugar until you have pea sized crumbs.
Pat 2 cups of the crumb mixture into the bottom of the greased pan. Set the rest aside.
Bake the crust for ten minutes or until a very light golden brown around the edges.
Meanwhile, gently fold your sliced strawberries together with the preserves.
In a small bowl, mix half the bag of chocolate chips with the sweetened condensed milk and microwave on high in 30 seconds increments, stirring after each one, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Carefully spread the strawberry mixture on top of the hot crust. Then pour the chocolate/milk mix on top of the berries and spread. Sprinkle that with the reserved crumbs and the other half of the bag of chocolate chips.
Bake at 350 for about 30 to 35 minutes or until the center is set.
Let cool, preferably in the refrigerator, for several hours.
