great recipe

so i had these great bar cookie things in class one day and i asked the guy who made them what it was and he spitted the recipe out to me- i didn't write it down or anything but just kept it in my head for a few days and then decided to make it for myself. i will never make it again- because it was so delicious! i could not stop eating it! every time i would walk by the kitchen i would cut off just a tiny little piece until i had pretty much gobbled the whole pan up...well, almost. anywho i am sharing the joy as well as documenting the recipe somewhere so that i have it in the future.

John Gruver's...I can't remember what he called them but something like schmeltys or something that wasn't really a word.
Mix together one yellow cake mix, one stick of butter, and one egg.
Press 2/3 of mixture into a 9x13 pan.
Melt one bag of milk chocolate chips, half a stick of butter, and one can of sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan until smooth.
Pour over mixture in 9x13 pan.
Crumble remaining mixture over chocolate layer.
Bake at 350F for about 20-25 minutes.
(The real trick is to let them sit overnight, or at least a long while, before trying to cut them or the chocolate just runs everywhere.)

i went to the store tonight and was sick from eating a bunch of m&ms and so i didn't buy much- but i did buy horchata and green grapes. this little girl kept coming next to me as i was looking at the grapes and she would look up at me and all around and kept doing it for the longest time...finally she snatched one grape, popped it in her mouth, and ran giggling down an aisle. oh, and those freeze and eat sorbet things i love- there is a new flavor! peach. i got them and will be having one for breakfast in place of my normal italian ice and life...stay posted to hear the verdict.
