-3 tablespoons white sugar
-1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
-1/2 cup butter
-1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
-2 cups chocolate chips
-1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
-3 tablespoons butter
-3 tablespoons maraschino cherry juice
-1 (1 ounce) square semisweet chocolate, chopped
Procedure:
~Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8 inch square baking pan. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, white sugar, and cocoa powder. Cut in butter until the texture is mealy. Pat into the bottom of the prepared pan.
~Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips. Cook, stirring frequently until chips are melted and the mixture is smooth. Pour over the baked crust.
~Return to the oven, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove, and cool in the pan over a wire rack.
~In a medium bowl, mix together the confectioners' sugar, butter, and cherry juice. Spread over the cooled filling in the pan. Melt semisweet chocolate in a small glass dish in the microwave, or in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Place in a plastic bag or piping bag, cut the tip to 1/8 inch, and drizzle the chocolate over the bars in a back and forth motion to make stripes. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
