Smith Family Yummie Bars

This recipe came from my ex-husband's favorite Aunt, Aunt Faye.

1 Package Brownie Mix (and ingredients on package)
2 Cups graham cracker crumbs (1 1/2 packs)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Prepare brownie mix according to directions on box and spread mixture in a well greased 11 x 13" pan. Crush graham crackers fairly fine, add semi-sweet chips and condensed milk, and mix well. Spread on top of brownie mix and bake at 350 degree oven for 40-50 minutes.

Frosting:
6 TBSP melted butter
3 cups confectioners sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla

Sift confectioners sugar in a bowl, and add the melted butter and vanilla. Blend until smooth, and spread over cooled yummie bars.

Final Topping:
