See that. It's milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and peanut butter. In some very well used measuring cups! It's also the first layer of the chocolaty , peanut buttery loveliness that is my grandma's recipe for homemade snicker bars. I have to tell you most of my life I have spent hating nuts, but loving these babies. It's been several years since I've had them since Grandma's in the nursing home and doesn't cook anymore. This year, I made my mom dig up the recipe so I could make them. Talk about transporting me back to my childhood!! mmmmm. Yes, they are a bit of work, but totally worth it and much more interesting than plain old fudge! I made my first batch a couple of weeks ago and the hubs demanded that I "DO NOT MAKE THESE AGAIN EVER!!!! " Not because they are bad, but because he couldn't keep shoving them in his mouth!!

ReplyDeleteMade it, with only one small (blistering) burn on my left index finger. (Making it kind of hard to type right now, as a matter of fact, but it wouldn't be me cooking if I didn't manage to burn myself or break something!) Can't wait to share this with family and friends this holiday! I promise to give you credit for the recipe! :) Thanks for sharing!
