How to Make Fudge Nut Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan.
- **Make the Cookie Dough:** In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) margarine and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- **Make the Fudge Filling:** In a medium saucepan set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler), combine 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, ½ cup (1 stick) margarine, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Stir frequently until the chocolate chips are melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or your favorite) and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Spread about ⅔ of the cookie dough evenly in the prepared jelly roll pan.
- Pour the fudge filling over the cookie dough layer and spread evenly.
- Drop spoonfuls of the remaining cookie dough over the fudge filling.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
