3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) Butter or margarine, melted
1 can (14 oz.) Sweetened condensed milk
2 cups (12 oz.) Miniature semisweet chocolate chips, divided

Combine cookie crumbs and butter; pat onto the bottom of an ungreased 13-in x 9-inch x 2-inch baking pan.

Combine milk and 1 cup of chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high for 1 minute or until chips are melted; stir until smooth.

Pour over the crust.
