Prepare a baking dish by greasing it lightly.

Combine sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and pulls away from the sides, about 10-15 minutes.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, eggs, baking powder, and vanilla extract.

Mix until smooth and well combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts into the batter.

Spread half of the batter into the prepared baking dish evenly.

Pour the fudge mixture over the batter, spreading it evenly.

Top with the remaining batter, covering the fudge layer.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.

Serve and enjoy your Brazilian-style fudge and cookie bars.
