Brownie bars anyone??

Ok – so this came about by looking at extra chocolate cake that I had put away- I remembered seeing a recipe for bear claws that used crumbles chocolate cake. So in an effort to use it I figured I’d try to make this work. I probably should have left this dilemma for another day, but if Shabbos is made and the kitchen is clean why not right??

Let me warn you – that unless you have to feed a massive amount of people please do yourselves a favor and at least half the recipe!!

Recipe

Dough:

3/4 cup sugar

1 lb ( yes you read right!!) margarine softened

8 oz nondairy whip ( un-whipped)

1 tsp vanilla

6 cups flour

Filling:

8 cups crumbled cake scraps ( ever had a Bundt cake that didn’t come out…)

1/4 cup total of liquid ( I combined chocolate liqueur, kafùa and hot water)

1/2 egg

2 tbsp melted margarine 

Directions for the dough:

Cream the margarine and sugar

Add the whip and vanilla

Slowly add the flour one cup at a time

Refrigerate for a while

Directions for filling:

Place everything in mixer together

It will almost resemble a dough

Assembly:

Preheat oven to 350

Divide both the dough and filling into 8 sections

Roll a piece of dough to about 16″x4″ 

Then take one of the filling pieces and roll into a thin log and press into the center of the dough

Fold over the top and bottom of dough to cover the filling

Then place it seam side down on parchment and score the logs every inch and a half

Bake about 20 minutes then slice where it was scored

To drizzle, melt about 5 oz chocolate and pour into a  ziploc bag

Snip the end a bit and design as desired
