This family favorite was handed down to me by my mother, and everyone who tastes the flaky chocolate-filled strips asks for the recipe. They're delicious! Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk |
2 cups chopped walnuts |
confectioners' sugar, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually add flour and mix well.
2. Turn onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth, about 3 minutes. Divide dough into fourths; cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until easy to handle.
3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and milk; stir until smooth. Stir in walnuts. Cool to room temperature.
4. Roll out each portion of dough onto an ungreased baking sheet into an 11-in. x 6-1/2-in. rectangle. Spread 3/4 cup chocolate filling down the center of each rectangle. Fold long sides to the center; press to seal all edges. Turn over so the seam sides are down.
5. Bake at 350° for 27-32 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Cut into 1/2-in. slices. Dust with confectioners' sugar if desired. Yield: 3 dozen.
