THE notorious pudding bars!

Skill 2: Recipe sharing

This skill might be more appealing if I had actually tried this recipe but alas I have not yet had the chance. Despite this I am hoping that the results will be good enough that we not longer have to but the bars in bulk (see below) to keep Dad happy. On a similar note, if Gram and Auntie do perfect this recipe to his liking they could start a small business endeavor out of their kitchens. :)

1st layer:

2 cups brown sugar

2 cups peanut butter

1 cup corn syrup

1/2 package (4 serving pack) instant vanilla pudding

4 cups rice krispies

Over low heat melt brown sugar, peanut butter, corn syrup and pudding until melted.

Mix with rice krispies and put in pan. Cool.

2nd layer:

1 stick margarine melted

1/2 cup milk

4 cups powdered sugar

remaining pudding mix

Mix and spread over cooled 1st layer. Chill again.

Frosting:

3/4 cup peanut butter

3/4 cup chocolate chips

Melt and spread over 2nd layer. Cool some more.

ENJOY!

Personal commentary:

I noticed there is a lot of "chilling" involved; sounds very relaxing. There is also a lot of "mixing" involved which Molly will enjoy OR for a good laugh you can label yourself "Mix Master (fill your name in here) " and act like that is a totally legitimate name for a pudding bar baker extraordinaire!

Keep tuned for more updates on my sweet skills (and the New Kids concert).
