I have been making taffy bars so long that I cannot remember where the recipe came from. Probably more than 30 years. One thing I like about this recipe is how fast it is! It mixes and bakes fast and uses just a few ingredients.
Ingredients:
Crust:
1 cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
Topping:
12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4-1/2 cup of finely chopped nuts
—————————————————
Directions:
Mix together and pat crust into a jelly roll pan or cookie sheet with an edge. Bake at 350° for 10-15 minutes until lightly browned. As soon as you remove it from the oven, pour 12 oz. of semi-sweet chocolate chips over the crust. Let it set for a few minutes until soft and spread over crust and sprinkle with nuts. Cut into squares. I get at least 32 squares. These are rich and you may wish to cut them smaller. The chocolate needs to set a bit before serving. You may wish to cool 5 minutes in the fridge or freezer to speed this process up.
Update: My favorite pan size is actually 17X11. Here is a picture of it with the taffy bars just made.
Pan size approximately 15X10X1 or the Pampered Chef stoneware large bar pan which I think is 14X10X1 for this recipe. The one in the picture is a slightly larger recipe and I used my 1/2 sheet cake pan for it. (There were 500 people invited to this event so I thought I had better enlarge it).
Thanks for the comment. I have fixed the recipe. It is easy to omit things sometimes when I have cooked something for so many years that I do it frequently without a recipe or timer!
What size pan is this for? I assume you mix all but the chips in the first step? Looks yummy!
