Cashew Fudge Bars Recipe

Ingredients

1 3/4

cups cashew halves

2

                        cups from 1 roll (16.5 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

1/2

cup old-fashioned oats

1

can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)

1

bag (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips

1

teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark pan). Chop 1 cup of the cashew halves. In large bowl, break up cookie dough. Stir in chopped cashews and oats. In ungreased 13x9-inch pan, press dough evenly to form crust. Bake 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, in 1 1/2-quart saucepan, cook condensed milk and chocolate chips over low heat about 6 minutes, stirring constantly, until chips are melted and smooth. Stir in vanilla.

Remove partially baked crust from oven. Spread chocolate mixture evenly over crust. Sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup cashews; press gently into chocolate.

Return to oven; bake 18 to 23 minutes longer or until edges and center begin to crack. Cool completely on wire rack, about 1 hour. Cut into bars.
