Fudge Layer Crumb Bars Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, whisk together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons milk until smooth; whisk in remaining milk, cream, sugar, cocoa, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high, stirring constantly, and cook 1 minute.
• Transfer to a large liquid-measuring cup and stir in vanilla. Pour into 10 3-ounce ice-pop molds and insert ice-pop sticks. Freeze until pops are solid, about 6 hours (or up to 1 week). Just before serving, briefly run molds under hot water to release pops.

Steps:

• Make crust:
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Into a food processor crumble graham crackers and grind into crumbs. Add pecans, sugar, butter, and salt and pulse motor until nuts are chopped fine. Press crumb mixture evenly onto bottom of an 11- by 7-inch baking pan and bake in middle of oven 5 minutes. Cool crust in pan on a rack.
• Make fudge layer:
• In a medium metal bowl set over a saucepan of barley simmering water melt chocolate with butter, stirring. Remove bowl from pan and cool to room temperature. With an electric mixer beat in remaining ingredients, beating until smooth.
• Spread fudge layer on top of crust and bake in middle of oven 30 to 35 minutes, or until top is set, edges have begun to pull away from sides of pan, and a tester inserted in center comes out with moist chocolate adhering. While fudge is still hot, score with a sharp knife into 24 small bars and cut into bars, wiping knife blade clean after each cut. Cool bars in pans on a rack. Bars will continue to set as they cool but will remain somewhat soft. Bars keep in an airtight container 3 days or, covered and chilled, 1 week.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350F.
• Grease 13x9 inch pan.
• In a large bowl, combine cake mix, butter, and eggs until crumbly.
• Stir in the nuts.
• Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the mixture for topping.
• Press remaining mixture into prepared pan.
• In small saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk and milk chocolate chips.
• Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the chips are melted.
• Pour over the base mixture.
• Sprinkle the reserved crumbs on top.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until set and topping is golden brown.
• Cool completely and then cut into bars.
