I'd have to say that I've been asked to share this chocolaty layered her recipe more than any other in my collection. It's a longtime favorite of our three daughters. How many times we've all made these, I can't count. Esther Shank, Harrisonville, Virginia Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter, softened |
1-1/2 cups sugar |
3 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1-1/3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3 tablespoons baking cocoa |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup chopped nuts, optional |
4 cups miniature marshmallows |
topping: |
1-1/3 cups semisweet chocolate chips |
1 cup peanut butter |
3 tablespoons butter |
2 cups rice krispies |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla.
2. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in nuts if desired. Spread in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan.
3. Bake at 350° for 15-18 minutes or until set. Sprinkle with marshmallows; bake 2-3 minutes longer or until melted. Place pan on a wire rack. Using a knife dipped in water, spread marshmallows evenly over the top. Cool completely.
4. For topping, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter in a small saucepan. Cook and stir over low heat until blended. Remove from the heat; stir in Rice Krispies. Spread over bars immediately. Chill until set. Yield: 3 dozen.
