Recipe - Bycracky Bars

Three fourths cup Shortening; (I just use
butter)
1 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1/3 cup Milk
One fourth teaspoon Salt
Vanilla
1 Three fourths cup Flour
One fourth teaspoon Soda

FROSTING
1 cup Brown sugar
3 tablespoon Cream; (I use milk)
Salt
3 tablespoon Butter
Vanilla

I make these every Christmas and since I moved last year, my boyfriend is
making me make them year round (they are one of his favorites)..One
questons first..how many (in cups) chocolate chips would I need to make one
square of chocolate? My boyfriend doesn't like semisweet and that is what
I always used, (he likes milk chocolate), but I can't find milk chocolate
baking bars anywhere here, so I am using chocolate chips. Any ideas on how
much chocolate chips I would need to use?

Mix together. Divide into 2 parts. To the first part, add 1 square of
melted chocolate and One fourth cup nuts. Put this into the bottom of a 13x9 pan.
Then cover with whole graham crackers. To the remaining batter, add Three fourths cup
chocolate chips. Spoon on top of crackers. Smooth out evenly and bake at
375 for 25 minutes. Frost with chocolate or caramel frosting.

Frosting: Bring to a boil in saucepan, then remove from heat. Add 1/3 cup
chocolate chips, if desired. Beat until thick and smooth. Cut into 3 dozen
squares.

*Note:For the nuts, I normally use peanuts, but this past Christmas I made
it with cashews and right now I am using hazelnuts, so you can pick what
you would like and try different nuts. Let me know how it turns out and how
you like it!
