NUT GOODIE BARS

This recipe came to me from my mom-in-law who originally got it from her mom. No one I've met as of yet can resist them, and everyone either asks me for the recipe or to make more just for them.

Provided by Lara H

Categories     Candy

Time 2h

Yield 1 pan, 36-50 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate (1 square)
12 ounces butterscotch chips
2 cups peanut butter
1 lb salted peanuts without skins
1 cup butter
1/2 cup evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed)
1/4 cup vanilla pudding mix (NOT instant)
2 lbs powdered sugar (7-1/2 cups)
1 teaspoon maple flavoring

Steps:

  • In a double boiler over low heat, melt together the first 4 ingredients.
  • Spread half of the mixture in a 12x16" pan lined with parchment paper or foil and chill to set.
  • Mix peanuts into the remaining chocolate mixture and set aside; my dh prefers them plain so I skip this step, but have tried it with crisp rice cereal as well which goes over fabulously too!
  • For the filling, mix together the butter, Pudding mix, and evaporated milk; boil for one minute.
  • Add 1 teaspoon maple flavoring and 2 pounds of sifted powdered sugar; mix well (a blender works wonderfully here).
  • Coo for 15 minutes and then spread filling over chilled first layer and return to refrigerator for 40 minutes or until firm.
  • Top with remaining chocolate mixture and chill until firm.
  • Cut on the diagonal to form diamonds.
  • These are extremely rich so cut into small bars.
  • Must be stored in a cool space.
  • To make these bars more stable at room temperature, reduce the amount of peanut butter by 1/4 to 1/2 cup.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately: Baking is a science, so it's important to measure your ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale for the best results.

  • Line your baking pan with parchment paper: This will help prevent the bars from sticking to the pan and make cleanup a breeze.
  • Bake the bars until they are golden brown: The baking time will vary depending on the recipe, so keep an eye on the bars while they're in the oven.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help prevent them from falling apart.
