Nut Goodie Bars are from a Minnesota based company called Pearson’s candy. They also make Salted Nut Rolls and Mint Patties and we love all three.
 
My mom used to make a copycat Nut Goodie Bar during the holidays and she gave me the recipe so that I can make it whenever the mood strikes! These bars have become one of my family’s all-time favorite bars. The jelly roll sized pan ensures that there are plenty of bars to share.

    Why did you remove the directions on how to make them individually? I have followed this for the last two years and it is gone. I really was counting on that.
