Cookies and Bars Recipes

Yield: 4 dozen

I got this recipe from the Taste of Home Bulletin Board posted by cubbybear. It sounds too good not to share with you.

Brownies

• 1-1/2 cups butter (no substitutes)
• 4 squares (1-ounce each) unsweetened chocolate
• 2-1/4 cups sugar
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup chopped slivered almonds
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter and chocolate; cool slightly. Add sugar. Stir in eggs, flour, almonds and vanilla.

Transfer to a greased 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.

Filling

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 24 large marshmallows
• 1 package (14 ounces) flaked coconut

In a large saucepan, combine filling ingredients; bring to a boil. Pour over cooled brownies.

Topping

• 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup butter (no substitutes)
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup chopped slivered almonds, toasted

In another saucepan, combine chocolate chips, sugar, butter and milk. Bring to a boil. Spoon over the filling. Sprinkle with almonds.

Chill brownies for 2 hours or until set before cutting. Store in the refrigerator.
