Igor Bars

Recipe

by John Kovalic



For those who do not want to take your DT#19 to the grocery store, here's the Igor Bars recipe (I typed it into my PDA so I don't have to take my comic book to the grocery store):

Igor Bars

Serves 1-8 (one gamer or 8 normals)

Ok, the pan-style cookie base is the easy part. Just make sure the pan is well-greased and that it's lined with wax paper (I recommend parchment -L.)

Any chocolate chip bag has the recipe on it. You just need to make sure that they're chewy and not too dry when they're done. (I'm going to buy pre-fab cookie dough that comes in a tube. -L.)

While they're cooling, you start preparing the caramel. you'll need about a hundred chunks and a double boiler. Remember to add three teaspoons of milk to them as they melt, or they'll crystallize when they cool.

But before you pour the caramel over the pan-style cookie base scatter a cup and a half of peanuts over it.

The caramel acts as the glue holding the cookie base to the rice krispie treat topping. Use a full recipe (about six cups of rice krispies). And press onto the caramel. Then melt 16 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate using the double boiler, and spoon over the bars. Top this with peanut M&Ms, toffee, or anything else you think is excessive.

Let cool for half an hour, slice, and you get Igor Bars.

Rice Krispie Treats recipe:
3 tbsp margarine
1 10 oz package of regular sized marshmallows
6 c rice krispies
vegetable spray for pan

melt margarine and marshmallows over low heat til completely melted
remove from heat
stir in cereal until well coated
spread into 9x13 pan that is coated with cooking spray
when cool, cut into squares

Lori's Note

For those who have a microwave and no double boiler, I recommend using the former instead of the latter. Just put whatever you're melting into a microwave-safe bowl, put the microwave on half power (remember, the manual will tell you how to do this), and melt for 30-60 seconds at a time. Take the bowl out and stir between melting sessions. Repeat until you have the desired consistency.
