“Give me anything but make it chocolate” is the rousing cry in many
households. Chocolate it is with these unforgettable fudge nut bars. If you
can keep hungry fingers off long enough, they freeze beautifully!
In saucepan, combine chocolate pieces, cream cheese and evaporated milk;
stir over low heat until smooth. Stir in nuts.
Preheat oven to 375.
In a large bowl, cream sugar and margarine until light and fluffy, Blend
in eggs and vanilla. Add flour, baking powder and salt; mix well. Press
half of flour mixture onto bottom of 12 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. Spread
chocolate mixture over crust. Sprinkle with remaining crust mixture; press
down gently. Bake 30 minutes or until crust is lightly browned.
Cool and cut into bars. To freeze: prepare as directed. Wrap securely;
freeze. When ready to serve, thaw unwrapped at room temperature,
approximately 2 hours.
