Preparation Method Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar. Press into the prepared pan and bake for 10-12 minutes until firm.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until light and fluffy. Add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and vanilla extract and continue beating until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter over the baked graham cracker crust and spread evenly. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the cooled bars and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before cutting and serving.

Special Precautions and Tips:
- Be sure to line the baking pan with parchment paper to prevent the bars from sticking.
- Let the bars cool completely before adding the chocolate filling. This will prevent the filling from melting too quickly.
- If the chocolate filling becomes too thick, you can heat it up again with a little bit of milk or cream.
