    "Give me anything but make it chocolate" is the
   rousing cry in many households. Chocolate it is with
   these unforgettable fudge nut bars. If you can keep
   hungry fingers off long enough, they freeze
   beautifully!
   
    In saucepan, combine chocolate pieces, cream cheese
   and evaporated milk; stir over low heat until smooth.
   Stir in nuts.
   
    Preheat oven to 375ø.
   
    In a large bowl, cream sugar and margarine until
   light and fluffy, Blend in eggs and vanilla. Add
   flour, baking powder and salt; mix well. Press half of
   flour mixture onto bottom of 12 x 9 x 2-inch baking
   pan. Spread chocolate mixture over crust. Sprinkle
   with remaining crust mixture; press down gently. Bake
   30 minutes or until crust is lightly browned.
   
    Cool and cut into bars. To freeze: prepare as
   directed. Wrap securely; freeze. When ready to serve,
   thaw unwrapped at room temperature, approximately 2
   hours.
