List of Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 envelope FLEISCHMANN'S RapidRise Yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup butter or margarine
2 tablespoons honey
1 egg yolk
1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1/2 cup sugar



Recipe

In a large bowl, combine 1 / 2 cup flour, undissolved yeast, and salt. Heat water, milk, butter, and honey until very warm (120° to 130°F). Gradually add to dry ingredients. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add egg yolk and ½ cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in remaining flour to make a stiff batter. Cover tightly with plastic wrap; refrigerate 2 hours. Remove dough from refrigerator. Combine chocolate morsels and 1/2 cup sugar. Roll dough to 8 x 8-inch square using 1 / 4 cup of sugar mixture (instead of flour) on surface. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar mixture; fold ends over center (like folding a letter). Repeat rolling, sprinkling, and folding procedure twice more using remaining sugar mixture. Roll to 8 x 8-inch square; pat in 8 x 8-inch square baking pan lined with parchment or wax paper.
Bake at 375°F for 25 to 30 minutes or until done. Remove from pan; cool on wire rack. Cut into bars to serve.

To serve later and maintain freshness, store thoroughly cooled bars in airtight containers or freezer bags and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw for at least 1 hour before serving.
