How to Make Halloween Mud Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in 1 ¼ cups chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped nuts (your choice).
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  8. Bake for 20-23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
