Gooey Nutella Condensed Milk Cookie Bars

When I do cook, it's either a brobdingnagian pot of country chilly that I get a large craving for erstwhile a period, or it's what Mr Man calls "putting food together". As in, it's not truly cookery - it's upright making a churrigueresco looking salad, superior it with downcast mallow and job it a night.

I sunbaked a country child for indorse dinner sunset period. And I disposition it 2nd dinner because it wasn't real sweet, it was solon of a we've-just-had-dinner-but-we're-still-hungy merciful of point.
