Drizzle bars made with failed fudge

2 1/2 dozen

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ cup Butter
¼ cup Confectioners' sugar
1 cup All-purpose flour
3½ ounce Shredded sweetened coconut*
1 Recipe failed fudge (too hard, too soft, etc)
1 cup Candy chips*
1 cup Walnuts; chopped
14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk

Directions

CRUST

FILLING

* can double these amounts. For chips, choose a flavor complementary to fudge flavor. For instance, with chocolate fudge, use butterscotch or peanut butter chips. Use semisweet chocolate with almost anything else.

Preheat oven to 375'F. Melt butter and blend with sugar and flour until cohesive. Then press into ungreased pan (8x8 or 9x9). Bake for 20 to 30 minutes. While crust is still hot, spread coconut over it.

Top with chips. Pour too-think fudge haphazardly over chips; dice too-hard or grainy or chewy fudge and scatter over chips. Scatter walnuts over that. Drizzle sweetened condensed milk over everything.

Bake for 20 minutes, then use a spatula to press down and compact bars. Finish baking for 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on a rack and cut.

Yield: 2½ dozen 2x2-inch bars.
