INGREDIENTS:

	Cookie Dough:
1	cup unsalted butter (softened)
2/3	cup brown sugar
2/3	cup granulated sugar
2	eggs
1	tsp vanilla
1/2	tsp salt
1  1/2	tsp baking soda
2  1/3	cups all-purpose flour
12	oz semi sweet chocolate chips
	Fudge:
14	oz sweetened condensed milk
12	oz semisweet chocolate chips
1-2	sachets GanoCafe Schokolade
2	Tbsp unsalted butter

 

DIRECTIONS:

1.	Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9"x13" baking pan with parchment paper and grease with cooking spray. Set aside
2.	In a large bowl, combine 1 cup softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until well mixed. Add the eggs, vanilla and salt, and stir. Add baking soda and flour and continue to stir until everything is combined. Stir in the first 12oz of chocolate chips.
3.	Heat condensed mil, remaining chocolate chips, GanoCafe Schokolade and 2 Tbsp butter in a small pan over medium low heat. Stirring constantly, allow mixture to melt together and thicken (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat.
4.	Press about 2/3 of the cookie dough into the prepared baking pan. Pour fudge mixture evenly over cookie dough. Then, using clan hands, flatten the remaining cookie dough a little at a time and carefully lay it over the fudge as evenly as possible. You can place a little extra butter or cooking spray on your hands to prevent the dough from sticking.
5.	Bake for 22 minutes. Allow the pan to cool on the wire rack for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours before cutting into squares.
