NUT GOODIE BARS


Just because there are three layers doesn’t mean that this is difficult…it’s really easy and delicious. Easily made in a rig with just a microwave too.

First Layer:

1 cup real chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup peanut butter

Nuke it in microwave for about 2 minute on medium…stir…if it still isn’t completely melted nuke a little longer and stir until smooth. Pour into a 9x13 pan coated with a non-stick cooking spray. Chill until firm.

Second layer:

1 cup butter or margarine
½ cup evaporated milk (I’ve used regular milk and it works fine)
1- 3 1/8 ounce package of vanilla pudding and pie mix (DO NOT USE INSTANT)
2 pounds of sifted powder sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the margarine; slowly add the milk. Stir in the pudding mix. Cook stirring constantly until mixture is slightly thickened., do not boil. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and powdered sugar. Carefully spread over the first layer. Chill for at least 30 minutes.

Third Layer:

1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup peanut butter
2 cups dry roasted peanuts

Melt the chips and peanut butter together as you did for the first layer…when melted stir in the peanuts. Spread over the top. Refrigerate until firm. Cut into about 1 inch squares. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.

Is that really "2 pounds of sugar"?

I intend to try this one day - but will change the recipe LOL - will double up on the chocolate chips and leave out the butterscotch - or maybe put in something else instead of butterscotch. But yep, gonna try it one of these days.

Yes Karen...it is really 2# of powdered sugar. This recipe is one that you want to have people to "share" with.

I'd also add some coconut.
