- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 "Giant" Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bars (7 ounces each, unwrapped)

- 1/2 cup hot fudge sundae sauce

Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 13×9" baking pan with foil and grease it.

- Whisk together the hot fudge sauce and sweetened condensed milk. Pour this mixture over the chocolate layers.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20 to 22 minutes until the top becomes bubbly and set.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan overnight. Cut them into squares and enjoy!
