2 cups flour

½ cup sugar

¼ tsp salt

2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

1 ¼ cup (14 oz can) sweetened condensed milk

Beat butter in a large bowl until creamy.  Beat in flour, sugar and salt until crumbly.  With floured fingers, press 2 cups of theis mixture into a greased 9 x 13 pan.  Reserve remaining crumb mixture and set aside.  Bake in pre-heated oven at 350 for 10 to 12 minutes, just until edges are golden.

Warm 1 ½ cups of chocolate chips and condensed milk in a small saucepan over low heat, (or use microwave).  Stir until smooth.  Add vanilla and pour over baked hot crust.
