How to Make Chocolate Fudge Nut Cream Cheese Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 13 x 9 inch baking pan.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips, 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), and 1/2 cup evaporated milk.
  4. Stir over low heat until chocolate and cream cheese are completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  5. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter or margarine and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Stir in 1 cup chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, or your favorite).
  9. Press half of the dough into the prepared baking pan. Spread the cooled chocolate mixture evenly over the crust.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining dough evenly over the chocolate layer and gently press down.
  11. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  12. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
