Fudge Squares-Chunky

By tunes

We incorporated Maple Leaf fudge in these chunky, excellent, easy-to-make squares, which may remind you of Rocky Road bars. Crumble the cookies with your hands to get a coarse mixture rather than using the food processor, which gives you crumbs.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (125 mL) whipping cream
• 8 oz (250 g) chocolate fudge, cut into pieces
• 3 cups (750 mL) broken shortbread cookies, (12 oz or 375 g)
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) dark chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped pecans
• 1/4 cup (50 mL) melted butter

Preparation

Step 1

Line an 8 x 8-inch (20 x 20-cm) baking pan with tin foil or parchment paper.

2. Place whipping cream in a small pot and bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Add fudge and stir until melted. Set aside.

3. Combine broken cookies, dark chocolate chips and chopped pecans in a medium bowl and pour over a little more than half of the fudge mixture (you need just enough to coat cookies). Pack mixture into prepared baking dish and place in refrigerator for 1 hour or until firm.

4. Combine remaining fudge mixture with melted butter and drizzle overtop of cookie bars. Chill. Cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) squares and serve.
