What You'll Need
- 2 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 2 cup all-purpose flour, plus 2 tablespoons for coating
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 pound orange jelly candy slices
- 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
What to Do
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
-
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the brown sugar, 2 cups flour, and salt. Add the eggs and oil; mix well and set aside. Coat the candy slices with the remaining 2 tablespoons flour, then cut the candy into small pieces and add to the batter, along with the nuts; mix just until combined. Pour the batter into a well-greased and floured 7" X 11" baking dish.
-
Bake for about 50 minutes, or until golden and a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Before completely cooled, cut into squares.
- Place the confectioners' sugar in a plastic bag; put a few squares at a time into the plastic bag and shake to coat the bars. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container until ready to serve (because they dry out quickly).
