1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-3/4 cups (1O-oz. pkg.) HERSHEYS Mini KlSSES Milk Chocolate, divided
1 cup chopped nuts
Heat oven to 350’F. Beat butter and shortening in large bowl on medium speed of mixer just until blended. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar; beat well. Beat in eggs, vanilla and baking soda. Gradually beat in flour (if dough becomes too stiff, stir in remaining flour with spoon). Set aside 1/2 cup MINI KISSES; stir in remaining KISSES and nuts. Press dough into ungreased jelly-roll pan (dough will be stiff). Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until top is golden. Remove from oven; immediately place reserved KISSES over top, pressing down lightly. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cut into bars.
Makes 48 bars.
