Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  2. Stir in vanilla extract and gradually mix in all-purpose flour until just incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  3. Add sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips, stirring until evenly distributed for a rich batter.
  4. Press the dough into a greased 9x9 inch baking pan evenly, packing it down and smoothing the top before chilling for 30 minutes.
  5. Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  6. Pour melted chocolate over the chilled dough, spreading it evenly, and chill again for another 30 minutes or until set.
  7. Remove from the pan and cut into squares or rectangles to serve chilled.
