This recipe is from Company's Comming squares book. I made them just this past week, and they were a big hit! Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
2 large egg yolks |
1 cup jam (any kind) |
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips |
3/4 cup salted peanuts |
3/4 cup granulated sugar |
2 large egg whites |
Directions:
1. Bottom Layer:.
2. Measure all 5 ingredients into bowl. Cut in butter until mixture is mealy and crumbly in texture. Press in ungreased 9x9 inch pan.
3. Filling:.
4. Spread jam over bottom layer. Start with putting a dab here and there so it will be easier to spread without to many crumbs moving around.
5. Top Layer:.
6. In medium saucepan combine chocolate chips, peanuts, sugar, and egg whites. Stir over medium heat as you bring it to a boil and the chips melt. Pour over jam layer. Bake in 350 degrees F. oven for 30-35 minutes until well set. Cut while hot for best results. Cuts into 36 squares.
