This recipe is from the 1973 Pillsbury Family Cookbook. Even though I've had this cookbook since the 70's, this is the first time I've made this recipe. Chocolatey, chewy, buttery, and sweet enough to make your teeth revolve - if that sounds like something you'd like, then these are for you. Oh, and easy, too!

CHEWY SCOTCH BARS



Chewy Scotch Bars image

A variation of a Pillsbury recipe I've seen on 'Zaar. This one is adapted from Southern Living November '98 and results in a sweet, fudgy chewy brownie-like bar. I reduced the sugar a bit and added the coffee. I inadvertently doubled the chocolate chips so I am posting it that way. The original called for 15x10 jelly roll pan but I used a 13x9 and increased baking time by a few minutes- the result is a thicker bar but feel free to bake it in the larger pan- just reduce the baking time by 5-8 minutes.

Time 1h5m

Yield 24-30 bars, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (12 ounce) packages semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon coffee, double strength and cool
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup pecans, toasted and chopped

Steps:

  • Microwave first 4 ingredients in microwave safe bowl at HIGH 1 1/2 minutes or until butter and chocolate melt- stirring twice- mixture will be smooth and thick.
  • Stir together 1 cup melted butter and brown sugar, add eggs and vanilla until well blended; stir in chocolate mixture, flour and salt until smooth and stir in pecans.
  • Pour into greased 13x9-inch pan and bake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean--do not overbake.
  • Cool on wire rack before cutting into bars; serve with ice cream if desired.
  • Store well wrapped at room temperature or chilled for a couple of days or freeze for longer storage.

Tips:

  • Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients for the most accurate results.
  • Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in tough cookies.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set, as overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

These chewy scotch bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their rich, buttery flavor and gooey caramel filling, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give these scotch bars a try.
