Uncle Bills Choco Bars Recipes

UNCLE BILL'S HOT FUDGE SAUCE

Steps:

• In the top of a double boiler over gently simmering water, melt the chocolate, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat. In a bowl, stir together the sugar and the water until all granules of sugar have dissolved. Stir in the dissolved sugar mixture and the corn syrup thoroughly into the chocolate until all are absorbed. Return the pan to low heat and stir in the margarine and the vanilla. Serve at once or cool, cover, and refrigerate in 1 cup containers. Reheat to the desired temperature before serving.

UNCLE WIGGLY BARS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°.
• Grease a cookie sheet with 1/4 inch sides, by spraying with Pam cooking spray.
• Boil together the butter with the brown sugar in a medium saucepan.
• Stirring constantly until the brown sugar and butter are no longer seperate, but come together like caramel sauce.
• Remove from heat.
• Stir in vanilla extract.
• In a large bowl, place the quick cooking rolled oats, and the pinch of salt.
• Pour the carmel sauce over the oats and stir until well combined.
• Dump the oat mixture onto the greased cookie sheet and spread out evenly, pressing into the pan.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the edges just lightly brown, DO NOT OVERBAKE!
• As soon as the squares are removed from the oven, use a metal spatula (or pancake flipper) and score the squares, (cut through them into the sizes you will be serving.) If you do not score the bars, you can not cut them later or they fall apart.
• Enjoy!
• (Many old-timer's remember this recipe as one their mothers made when they were little kids).

AUNT BILL'S BROWN CANDY

Steps:

• Butter a 9x13 inch dish and a medium, heavy saucepan.
• In the buttered saucepan, combine 4 cups sugar and the cream. Have ready.
• In a large heavy skillet over medium heat, pour the remaining 2 cups sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar begins to melt. Place the saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally. Continue to cook and stir the sugar in the skillet until it is completely melted and light brown. Pour the melted sugar very slowly, in a thin stream, into the lightly simmering cream, stirring constantly (This step may take five minutes, and works best if someone strong pours the melted sugar v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y.)
• Heat now, without stirring, to 242 to 248 degrees F (116 to 120 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a firm but pliable ball. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda (mixture will foam). Drop the butter into the foaming mixture and let rest without stirring 30 minutes.
• Stir in the vanilla with a wooden spoon and continue to stir vigorously until mixture loses its gloss, 10 to 15 minutes. Then fold in pecans and quickly turn candy into the prepared 9x13 inch dish. Let cool until just warm and cut in 1 inch pieces.

CHOCO-COCONUT BARS

Steps:

• Blend the condensed milk and the vanilla together in a bowl. Add the powdered sugar a little at a time, blending each time until smooth. Stir in the coconut. You should have a firm mixture. Pat the mixture into a greased 9 x 13 inch pan and chill until firm.
• Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high 1 minute at a time, stirring after each minute, until melted. Remove the pan from the refrigerator and cut the coconut mixture into 1 x 2 inch bars.
• Set each bar on a fork and dip into the chocolate, completely coating the bar. Let excess drip off, then set on waxed paper. Repeat for each bar. Bars will take several hours to air-dry; if you are in a hurry you can refrigerate the bars for about 30 minutes. Enjoy!
