Homemade Skor Bar Recipe

I found this recipe on one of the forums on Canadianparents.com

Homemade Skor Bar

Soda cracker or Breton, or Melba toast, or crack wheat crackers (any type of cracker with no flavor to it - avoid Ritz)

1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

3/4 cup chocolate chips

Pre-heat oven at 400F (I use my toaster oven).

In a pan (I use my toaster oven pan (10X8),place cracker one next to the other to cover all the bottom of the pan.
In a small saucepan, melt butter, brown sugar and vanilla.
When brown sugar is melted, pour over the crackers and place in the oven for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, the caramel should be bubbling hard.
Remove from oven. Turn off oven. Pour chocolate chips over and place in the hot oven for 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove and using the back of a spoon, spread melted chocolate chips over caramel and crackers.
Place in fridge for at least one hour. Score your pan in 24 pieces.
Place in the fridge until very cold. Serve cold and keep in the fridge.

If you are using a bigger pan: remember butter and brown sugar should always be in equal amount.... 1 cup butter for 1 cup brown sugar...
The vanilla stay the same.

This recipe can be made ahead of time and frozen between layers of wax or parchemin paper.
This recipe cannot be left at room temperature too long (hot Summer day)the chocolate will melt....

Homemade Crunchy Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

Only make these once a year....they are sinfully decadent.

I initially came across this recipe in thestar.com but I've since modified it.

Homemade Crunchy Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

2 cups chocolate chips

2 tbsp unsalted butter

2 cups peanut butter (crunchy or smooth)

3 cups Rice Krispies cereal

1/2 large Toblerone bar

1 cup crushed graham crackers

Spray baking spray on 9 x 6-inch baking dish and line with parchment paper.

Place 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon butter in double boiler and melt over low heat, stirring constantly. Stir in 1/2 cup peanut butter. Stir in cereal until well blended.

Place mixture into prepared pan. Press down into even layer. Place in fridge.

After 10 minutes take out of fridge and take 1 cup of peanut butter and spread evenly over mixture with spatula. Place back in fridge.

After 10 minutes take out of fridge and evenly spread out 1 cup crushed graham cracker crumbs. Return to fridge.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in double boiler. Stir in remaining cup of chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of peanut butter and 1/2 large Toblerone bar until smooth. If too thick add another tablespoon of unsalted butter (or milk works too). Pour evenly over prepared base. Smooth out top with spatula.

Cover and refrigerate at least 60 minutes.

Remove from pan. Cut into bars. Store in airtight container.

These are very sweet so cut into small bars.

Enjoy.
