"This is a Pillsbury recipe that an old roommate's mother introduced me to. These are, quite seriously, one of the most delicious (and horrible for you) desserts you will ever eat. They are really easy to make and so good that I have to bring them to an event to share or I will eat the ENTIRE pan! I can't believe no one has previously posted this one..."

I first found this in 1975 in Pillsbury's Bake-Off Best Recipes booklet, I think this was the grand prize winner that year. It has been a family favorite ever since. The original recipe called for 1 1/2 cups nuts and 6 oz real chocolate chips. It also specified pecans.

These were ooey gooey good! My oven can cook things a little unevenly so the edges were crisper than the center which was pretty gooey, but we didn't mind, the gooier, the better! thanks rockinred!
