These could become a favorite for bake sales or casual dinner parties - if they make it out of the house! Ingredients:
3/4 cup margarine (1 1/2 sticks) or 3/4 cup butter (1 1/2 sticks) |
4 ounces semisweet chocolate |
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
4 large eggs, beaten |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup instant malted milk powder (no sugar added) |
3 tablespoons milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 tablespoons margarine or 3 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 1/2 cups malted milk balls, coarsely chopped (about 5 ounces of candy) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F Grease 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Line pan with foil; grease foil.
2. Prepare Chocolate Base: In a heavy 3-quart saucepan, melt margarine or butter with chocolates over low heat, stirring frequently. Remove saucepan from heat. With a wooden spoon, stir in sugar and vanilla, then stir in eggs until well mixed.
3. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt; stir into chocolate mixture just until blended.
4. Spread batter evenly in pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until toothpick inserted 1-inch from edge comes out clean. Remove pan from oven. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
5. Prepare Malted-Milk Topping: In a small bowl, mix malted-milk powder, milk and vanilla until blended. Stir in margarine or butter, then confectioners' sugar, until blended. Spread topping over cooled bars; top with chopped malted-milk-ball candies.
6. When topping is firm, transfer with foil to cutting board. Cut lengthwise into 4 strips, then cut each strip crosswise into 8 pieces.
