Fudge-Filled Blondies

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. 2
   Grease and flour a 9 x 13 baking pan.
3. 3
   In a large bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
4. 4
   Beat in the eggs, then the vanilla until smooth and well blended.
5. 5
   In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
6. 6
   Add to the creamed mixture just until combined; do not overmix.
7. 7
   Spread half the batter in the prepared pan.
8. 8
   Stir together the melted chocolate and condensed milk to form a fudge-like mixture; spread in an even layer over the batter.
9. 9
   Cover with the remaining batter.
10. 10
    (The easiest way to do this is to drop little mounds of dough over the filling. Then, using your fingertips, pinch the pieces together until they make a fairly even layer. You won't be able to cover the filling completely--that's okay.) Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick tests done.

    Cool on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
