Chocolate Dump Bars

Now I realize that the words "Dump Bars" might not sound very appetizing, but that's why you put the word "chocolate" in there.  :)  I think these were probably the first bars I ever learned to make, probably because they're one of my all-time favorites.  And I probably licked the batterout of the bowl--and the spatulas--back then...like I would never do now.  (Note sarcasm.)  While these bars are amazing all by themselves, to add to their greatness, plop a scoop of Well's Blue Bunny Dulce de Leche (caramel) ice cream on top.  And maybe some chocolate syrup.  And maybe some caramel sauce.  Yep!  That will do!

 

Chocolate Dump Bars

2 cups sugar

1 1/4 cups flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup cooking oil

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup cocoa

Dump all ingredients, except chocolate chips, together.  Mix with a spoon until all ingredients are moistened.  Spread in a 9x13 pan.  Sprinkle chocolate chips on top.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.  Do not overbake.
