Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3/4 cups sifted all purpose flour (7.5 oz at the most)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
12 tablespoons butter (softened (I used unsalted))
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/3 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate (melted and cooled)
3/4 cup walnuts (toasted and chopped)
9 double graham crackers
3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (at least)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F or 350 degrees F. I used 350F.
  • Line a 13x9 inch metal pan with foil and spray with baking spray. If making a half batch, use an 8 inch square metal pan.
  • Mix the sifted flour, salt and baking soda in a small bowl and set aside.
  • In mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix milk with vanilla. Add flour and milk alternately to creamed mixture, beating well. Take 1/3 of the mixture (I recommend slightly more than 1/3) and put in a separate bowl with the melted chocolate and walnuts. Stir until mixed. Spread the chocolate mixture in the pan. Lay the graham crackers over the chocolate mixture, then mix the chocolate chips in with the remaining 2/3 (white) batter. Spread that over the graham crackers.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. My half batch took 23 minutes at 350F. Cool completely, then lift from the pan and cut into 32 bars or however many you prefer. If you plan on dipping the bars, cut into long wedges rather than squares.
  • For chocolate dipped bars, melt the butter in a 2 cup liquid measuring cup (Pyrex), add the chopped chocolate and stir until it melts as much as it possibly can from the heat of the butter, then microwave at 10 second intervals, stirring at each interval, until it's smooth and completely melted. Dip the bars right in the cup. After they've set, slice them into squares.

These are a CHOCOLATE Lover's Fantasy :) Two layers of chocolate delight with graham crackers in between. I have no idea why they are named "By-Cracky" (except for the crackers) since it is one of those recipes I had written down at one time or another over the years, but make often because they are incredibly yummy :)

Time 17m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 cups flaked coconut
¼ cup margarine, melted
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
4 (1.55 ounce) bars milk chocolate candy

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs and coconut. Pour in the condensed milk and melted margarine, mix until well blended. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature butter for a smooth, creamy batter.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender bar.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix, as this will toughen the bars.
  • Press the dough into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
  • While the crust is baking, make the topping. Combine the brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, or until the mixture has thickened slightly.
  • Pour the topping over the hot crust. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and golden brown.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting into squares.

Conclusion:

By following these tips, you can make delicious By Cracky Bars that are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. These bars are a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give By Cracky Bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
