Nordy Bars

Recipe for the famous Nordy Bar served in the Nordstrom Cafe back in the 80's
Author Nordstrom Cafe, by way of A Bountiful Kitchen

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 -12 oz package butterscotch chips
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 12 oz package chocolate chips
  • 2 cups fresh mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup chopped pecans If you omit the nuts, add 3 more tablespoons flour

Instructions

  1. In large saucepan, melt butter.
  2. Add butterscotch chips and brown sugar. Stir until all melted. Do not boil.
  3. Remove pan from heat and let cool for about 1/2 hour.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well.
  5. Stir in rest of ingredients just until all ingredients are incorporated.
  6. Spread mixture into a 9x13 greased pan.
  7. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20-30 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out without batter attached.

Recipe Notes

- I like to line the pan with parchment paper.

-The original recipe has a 15-20 minute baking time, but the bars were never cooked enough. I usually bake for about 25 minutes.

-These bars are best when cooled and cut into small pieces and refrigerated.
