RETRO BING BARS



Retro Bing Bars image

This is a homemade version of the Twin Bing® candy bars from the 60s. They are rich and sweet and a small piece is a nice treat. These really are like candy, so cut in small pieces. A 1-inch square is sufficient! Store in a cool place in an airtight container, separating layers with waxed paper.

It's taken me a while to find this recipe. There are many versions of "the peanut butter bar" but, I believe this recipe comes the closest to what I remember eating in the 1960's (via our elementary school lunchroom). Boy those ladies could really cook back then!

Time 30m

Yield 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 pinch salt
12 large marshmallows
2/3 cup evaporated milk
5 ounces cherry chips
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup finely chopped peanuts

Steps:

  • Combine sugar, butter, salt, marshmallows and evaporated milk to a boil, and boil for 5 minutes. Stir constantly as this mixture can scorch easily. Remove from heat, stir in cherry chip until melted and pour into a buttered 9 x 13 pan. Chill until set. Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter, either in microwave or on the stovetop, stir in peanuts. Pour over cherry mixture and chill again until set.

Tips:

  • Prepare ahead: Bing Bars can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This makes them a great option for parties or potlucks.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your Bing Bars will taste. Use fresh fruit, pure vanilla extract, and real cream.
  • Chill thoroughly: Bing Bars need to be chilled for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This helps them set up and become firm.
  • Dip in chocolate: For a richer flavor, dip the Bing Bars in melted chocolate before serving. You can also roll them in chopped nuts, sprinkles, or crushed cookies.
  • Serve immediately: Bing Bars are best served immediately after they are made. They will start to melt if they are left out at room temperature for too long.
