I really have to credit
Nestle'® for this great recipe ... although I have
'tweaked' it a bit to
fit my own particular tastes.
This was one of my first recipes I made as a young child.
My Dad worked at Nestle'®
years ago and I think he spent more time
in their test kitchen that anywhere else!
:) ha! However, he did save for
us some of the great recipes from those days
that you can't always
find in their recipe books or their packages.
I would often bake these for
the various athletic teams I competed!
They were called Gator Bars then Trojans Bars,
but they were always delicious!
So here is my version!

Enjoy!
1) INGREDIENTS
4 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 cup butter
2 teaspoons vanilla ( or if you prefer Almond )
2 eggs or 2 tablespoon yogurt
2 12 oz. packages of Milk Chocolate Chips
1 cups nuts ( I like diced Almonds)
2) PREPARATION -- STEP
by STEP!
1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2) Mix together bread flour, baking soda and salt into a large bowl
and set
aside.
3) In another smaller bowl, combine the brown sugar,
vanilla (or almond) and
butter.
4) Gradually add everything to the larger bowl.
5) Stir in 2/3 of the chips and all the nuts.
6) Bake for 23 - 25 minutes in a 9x14 inch greased pan.
7) Immediately after removing the pan from the oven, sprinkle
the remaining
chips over the top of the cookie bars.
8) When the chips are soft and shiny, spread them evenly
over the bars... like
frosting.
Other Ideas...
You can mix peanut butter chips and milk chocolate
chips
(my
personal favorite!)
