  • Treasure Chest Bars

    These are my favorite bars of all time. I have not made them in some years. They were a Bake Off winner when I was a young girl and they are wickedly good.

    INGREDIENTS:
    1/2 cup butter, softened
    1/2 cup sugar
    1/2 cup brown sugar
    2 eggs
    1 tsp. vanilla
    1-3/4 cups flour
    1/4 tsp. salt
    1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
    3/4 cup milk
    1 cup maraschino cherries, cut in half
    1 cup salted mixed nuts, broken
    2 cups milk chocolate chips
    1/4 cup butter, softened
    2 cups powdered sugar
    1/2 tsp. vanilla
    2-3 Tbsp. milk
    PREPARATION:
    Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 15x10" jelly roll pan with 1" sides. Beat 1/2 cup butter and sugars together. Beat in egg and vanilla until fluffy. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk.

    Then stir in cherries, nuts and chocolate chips. Spread into prepared pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes until light golden brown and set.
    For frosting, melt 1/4 cup butter in large saucepan, and then cook over medium heat, watching carefully, until butter begins to turn brown. DO NOT BURN!! Stir in powdered sugar, vanilla and milk to make a thin frosting. Frost bars while warm; cool and cut into squares.
