3/4 c light corn syrup
1/4 c butter (cubed)
1 pkg (11 1/2 oz) milk chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°

  • 10. Now refrigerate for 1 hour (or until firm) before cutting into bars.

Tips:

  • Mise en place. Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your almost candy bars will turn out. Use real butter instead of margarine, and use good-quality chocolate and peanut butter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the almost candy bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the almost candy bars at the right temperature. The temperature of your oven can affect the texture of the almost candy bars. Bake them at the temperature specified in the recipe.
  • Let the almost candy bars cool completely before cutting them. Cutting them while they are still warm will make them fall apart.

Conclusion:

These almost candy bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up any leftover ingredients you have on hand. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious dessert that everyone will love.
