Nancy's Kitchen - Tried and Tested Recipes
Bun Candy
Hi Nancy, I wish I had posted this before Christmas but
I just found the recipe while going through all of them
and sorting out. Anyway, this is really good and makes a
lot!
Bun Candy
1 pkg. (12 oz.) Chocolate Chips
1 pkg.
(12 oz.) Butterscotch Chips
1 jar (18 oz.) Creamy
Peanut Butter
1 Cup Butter or Margarine (regular
stick not tub)
2/3 Cup Milk
1 pkg. (3 & 1/2 oz.)
Vanilla Pudding Mix (not instant)
2 lbs. Powdered
Sugar
1 lb. Dry Roasted Peanuts
Melt both
kinds of chips and the peanut butter a microwave safe
bowl on high in the microwave for a few minutes but be
careful and don’t overheat. The chips will not lose
their shape and you won’t
think they are melted but
if you stir them you will see that they are melting.
Check after each minute in the microwave and stir until
well blended. Spread half of the mixture in a buttered
10”x 15” jellyroll pan and chill in the refrigerator or
freezer. Heat butter, milk and pudding mix over medium
high heat, stirring constantly, until bubbly and cook
for one minute. The mixture will look like something
curdled or like the pudding is just”frying” in the
butter but that is o.k. Add the powdered sugar (sifted
if you prefer) and beat in well. Spread over the
chocolate mixture in the pan and chill. When the vanilla
layer is firm, add the peanuts to the remaining
chocolate mixture (you may have to reheat it a little)
and spread over the chilled vanilla layer. Just remember
to firmly chill each layer before you add another. Keep
in refrigerator or freeze. Cut into 1” pieces. Makes
about 5 lbs. of candy. This is supposed to taste like
the Bun Candy Bar.
