recipes containing candy bars?

11 years ago

I have some extra Clark bars and am searching for any good recipe for cookies or cake that would include the candy bars. All I'm finding are recipes that are meant to taste like a Clark bar.

Does anyone have a recipe they like that includes chopped Clark bars or Butterfingers? I think they're very similar in texture and taste.

I had a dessert-type thing once that was good... I think it had whipped cream, pudding, and both broken cookies and candy bars in it. Does that sound familiar? Will Clark bars work?

I haven't mad this but I saved it cause I love Butterfingers. Its a Butterfinger Pie.

1 - 12.5 Oz Butterfinger Candy Bars, crushed

1 8oz cream cheese, room temp

1 12 oz Cool Whip, thawed

1 premade graham cracker crust

Set aside 1/2 cup crushed candy bar.

Mix other ingredients together and pour into crust. Sprinkle remaining crushed candy bars on top. Refridgerate till set.

I fyou go to itsakeeper.com, there are many more recipes on there using candy and cookies. I think I have the one you mentioned. Tried it and it was ok but got watery very quickly. Someone mentioned adding cream cheese to it to make it more substantial. I think it used Milky Ways or Snickers.

This one? 41/2 cup sugar 1 large can carnation milk 1/8 cup butter 2 (1lb) hershey bars 16 large marshmellows or 2 cup mini 1 large pkt. choc chips 1 T vanilla 11/2 cup chopped nuts. Mis first 3 ingredients and heat to boil, boil for 5 min,stirring constantly. Mix other items together and pour first mixture over top. Stir until smooth. Pour into 13+13 pan. Yields 5 lbs. I could be wrong but I don't think that would work since you add the other ingredients after boiling. Did you boil it the full 5 minutes? Have you refrigerated it? You might just have a rather nice chocolate sauce for ice cream, etc.

I speak from experience.....you really need the big marshmallows. The little ones are drier, there is more cornstarch on the outside and more outside....and it doesn't work. Wait until you can get the real big marshmallows. By the way....would you post that recipe? I am not sure I really know where I put my copy...and it was really good and hard to spoil fudge....if you followed directions!! LOL! Linda C

LOOKING for: recipe for old fashioned peanut butter candy
Q
Comments (25)
Recipe: 3 3/4 cup white sugar 1 1/2 cup light corn syrup 1 cup hot water 4 Cups creamy peanut butter Boil syrup water and sugar to 295 degrees. Spread peanut butter onto a large sprayed cookie sheet with sides. Pour hot syrup over peanut butter and fold in quickly. Turn out and roll with a rolling pin. Cut and cool completely. It seems like a simple recipe but I will tell you I have a hard time getting it too turn out right every time. I have found that using all brand ingredients works best for me: others use generic peanut butter. Also, it helps to have two people folding from opposite ends of the pan coming together. We tried making this past weekend and all batches didn't turn out completely right except one. Hopefully you are able to get it to turn out because I almost bet this is the recipe you have been searching for. Happy Candy making!

I saw a commercial this morning.........M&Ms in yogurt. Also what I took to be Oreos. And I don't know what else. Good grief! Give your kid a healthy snack full of crap.

You can make a variation of the Snickers Salad - candy bars, whipped cream, fruit of your choice, nuts if you like, pretzels if you like, etc.

Otherwise chop them up and put them in brownies, blondies, cookies or whatever else you like. Peanut butter cookies with candy bits in them or they'd work in a chocolate chip cookie in place of the chips. Use your favorite recipes.

Didn't realize they still made Clark Bars!

Thanks, everyone! I'd never had a Clark bar -- am not much of a candy eater, but my BF is. He said they were his favorite when he was a kid so I bought them on Amazon as a xmas gift... a big box of them! lol!

OMG, TulsaRose, I didn't find that in my searches. Thank you!

I was hoping they could just be crushed and added to cookie batter, but I hesitated to try it because I worried that the sugary interior would melt into a mess.

party_music, if you try the recipe, let us know how it turns out. I'm sure your BF will appreciate that you wanted to do that for him. I, too, love Clark Bars but rarely find them in the local stores. Same with Zagnut...another candy bar favorite but difficult to find. Maybe I need to try your method and check out Amazon. ;-)

That recipe is simply a basic peanut butter cookie recipe with Clark Bars added. The difference is that it uses egg whites only.

That crunchy clark bar cookie recipe looks really yummy! Lol. And Cynic, that is not a basic peanut butter cookie recipe. Basic or old fashioned pb cookies always had granulated sugar in them and usually on them.
