Portuguese Fudge Bars

Experience the rich decadence of these Portuguese Fudge Bars, featuring a moist chocolate cake base topped with your choice of two extraordinary frostings. The classic version combines buttermilk-enriched chocolate frosting with chopped nuts, while the alternative layers melted marshmallows beneath a crispy chocolate-peanut butter-rice cereal topping. Baked in a jelly roll pan for perfect thickness, these indulgent bars deliver intense chocolate flavor with contrasting textures in every bite.
I hate margarine, so I assume you can replace it with butter.

💡️ Help, Cookie Policy, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Service
🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 Why No Pictures: Well, there ARE some pictures, here and there. But to be honest, if you need pictures showing you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking! And really, I find them annoying when all I want to do is look at the recipe! Also, we haven't made most of these recipes. We occasionally take pictures of the finished product when we remember!
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
