Notes

For a glass pan, bake at 325 for about 30 minutes or until done.
You can sprinkle extra chips on top for even more chocolate.
Do not over bake. They are done when the edges are golden brown and the middle is firm, but not hard. A toothpick inserted into the center of the bars should be mostly clean, although you will see some melted chocolate.
Top with flaked salt after baking for extra flavor or add seasonal candies to the top of the bars before baking to dress them up for different holidays.
