Instructions
Start by greasing an 8-by-8-inch baking dish and set it aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugars, vanilla and milk until the mixture is smooth.
Add the flour, cocoa powder and salt and beat until everything is well combined. It takes a little bit to get it completely mixed together. Mine started out looking really dry at first, and I was afraid I messed it up. Just keep mixing.
Set aside one cup of the Andes mint chips and fold the rest into the mixture. Press the mixture into your prepared pan.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cup of mint chips and the shortening and microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until it is melted and smooth.
Spread it out over the top of the mixture in the pan and place the bars in the freezer to set up.
Once the topping hardens, cut into bars and serve.
