Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix graham cracker crumbs and baking powder together.
- Combine Eagle Brand milk and chocolate chips until the chips are melted and mixture is smooth.
- Mix the milk and chip mixture with the crumb mixture until all is moist.
- Spread the mixture evenly in a 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Use moist fingers to press down the mixture evenly.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes.
- Cut into squares while still warm and remove from the pan.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra twist, consider adding chopped nuts or dried fruit to the mixture before baking. If you want a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. Make sure to press down firmly to create a solid base, which will help maintain the shape when cutting. For a gluten-free option, look for gluten-free graham cracker crumbs.
Serving Suggestions
These chewy treats are perfect for a sweet snack or dessert. Serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat. They pair beautifully with coffee or a glass of milk. For a festive touch, consider cutting them into shapes with cookie cutters for special occasions.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze the squares in a single layer, then transfer them to a resealable bag. To reheat, simply warm them in the microwave for a few seconds to restore their chewy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk?
Yes, you can substitute Eagle Brand milk with a non-dairy alternative such as almond or coconut milk, but the texture may vary. If using a non-sweetened version, you might want to add a bit of sugar to maintain the sweetness of the treats.
How can I make these treats more chocolatey?
To enhance the chocolate flavor, consider mixing in some cocoa powder with the graham cracker crumbs or add an extra half cup of chocolate chips. You can also drizzle melted chocolate on top after baking for a decadent finish.
Can I make these chewy treats ahead of time?
Absolutely! These treats can be made a day or two in advance. Just make sure to store them properly in an airtight container. They taste great even after a day or two, and the flavors will meld nicely.
