Milk Dud Torte Recipes

MILK DUD CAKE MIX BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9x13 glass baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
• Mix the cake mix, evaporated milk and melted butter in a mixer - beating well.
• Add 1 cup of the milk duds and 1 cup of the chocolate chips - beat well.
• Transfer ¾ of the batter to the prepared pan and spread out flat in the bottom as best you can. It's very sticky. You can wet your hands to make it stick a bit less or use a rubber spatula coated in cooking spray.
• Bake for 10 minutes, then remove.
• Top with remaining milk duds & chocolate chips.
• Drop the remaining batter on the top in spoonfuls- do not spread out - leave it chunky.
• Return to the oven and bake for another 40-45 minutes.
• Check with the toothpick test- it should be mostly clean.
• Remove and allow to cool completely before cutting.
• Store at room temperature in an airtight container.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine 1 1/2 cup white sugar, shortening, peanut butter, and brown sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in eggs one at a time.

HOMEMADE MILK DUDS RECIPE

Steps:

• For the Caramel: Nestle a large sheet of parchment paper into an 8-inch cake pan to roughly cover the bottom and sides. In a 2-quart stainless steel saucier, combine water, sugar, and salt over medium heat. Stir with a fork until sugar is fully dissolved and syrup comes to a rolling boil, about 4 minutes. Simmer, without stirring, until syrup is honey-gold, roughly 7 minutes. Immediately add cream and reduce heat to medium-low, adjusting the heat lower if needed to keep caramel from foaming too high. (This is more likely on an electric stove due to residual heat.) Stirring constantly with a heat-resistant spatula, simmer until caramel registers 260°F (127°C) on a digital thermometer, about 7 minutes. Immediately pour into prepared pan, cover tightly with foil, and cool to room temperature, about 2 hours.
• Peel caramel from parchment, transfer to a cutting board, and cut into 50 pieces (approximately 1/4 ounce or 7g each) with a sharp knife; don't worry about being too precise with their shape or size. If you like, use your fingers to mold the pieces into a more oval, Milk Dud-like shape.
• For the Chocolate Coating: Line a baking sheet with parchment. Temper chocolate according to one of the methods described here . Fold all caramel pieces into tempered chocolate. With a clean hand, scoop up pieces like handfuls of marbles, then slide each one over your index finger with your thumb into your other hand (think of how you'd dole out a handful of M&M's) and arrange on prepared baking sheet. Let stand at room temperature until fully set, about 15 minutes, then transfer to an airtight container.
