Marges Heath Bars Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Oven: 350 degrees Butter a cookie sheet.
• 2. Lay Keebler's Club original butter crackers over the bottom of a cookie sheet. Cover the bottom completely.
• 3. Combine in a pan, the butter and brown sugar. Bring to a boil and boil for 3 minutes.
• 4. Spread this mixture over the crackers in the cookie sheet.
• 5. Place sheet in a preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven.
• 6. Mix together the chocolate and butterscotch chips and sprinkle over top of butter crackers. (I always add a few more chips)
• 7. Return to oven for a few minutes for the chips to get glossy. The butterscotch chips take a little longer to melt than the chocolate chips.
• 8. Remove cookie sheet from oven and spread the melted chips to cover the top. Cut into bars while warm. Refrigerate.
• 9. Remove from cookie sheet when cold.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl, beat butter well and blend in sugar, egg yolk and vanilla.
• Mix in flour, 2/3 cup HEATH bars and nuts by hand.
• Press into ungreased 10 x 15 inch cookie sheet.
• Bake 18- 20 minutes or until browned.
• Immediately sprinkle remaining HEATH bars evenly over top.
• Cool slighty and cut into bars while still warm.

Steps:

• Make the dough: Combine butter, granulated sugar, yolks, salt, vanilla, and flours in the bowl of a food processor. Process until dough comes together, 30 to 60 seconds. Turn dough out and divide in half. Shape each half into a 3-by-5-inch rectangle and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Chill for 1 hour.
• Make the filling: Heat figs and port in a small saucepan over medium until just simmering. Let stand until liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer fig mixture to a food processor. Add vanilla bean seeds, brown sugar, and salt; process until a paste forms, 1 minute.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees with rack in the middle position. Roll out one piece of dough between lightly floured sheets of parchment paper into an 8-by-11-inch rectangle. Spread half of the filling lengthwise down the center of the dough to form a 2 1/2-by-9-inch rectangle. Use parchment to lift dough and fold over the filling to cover. Pinch edges to seal. Refrigerate on parchment until firm, 15 minutes. Repeat process with remaining dough and filling.
• Remove both pieces of filled dough from refrigerator. Use parchment to carefully flip dough, seam-side down, onto a single parchment-lined baking sheet. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes. Combine egg and cream, and lightly brush dough. Sprinkle generously with turbinado sugar. Bake until golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool on pan before slicing crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick pieces.
