Viewed: 7 - Published at: 7 years agoIngredients
- SHORTBREAD CRUST
- 1 cup flour
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup very cold butter (cut into pieces, no substitutes)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- TOPPING
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
Method
- Set oven to 350° (oven rack to second-lowest position).
- Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
- In a processor (I use my small processor for this) place the flour and sugar, process for a couple of seconds.
- Add in cold butter and vanilla; process until fine crumbs form (about 10 seconds or just until the mixture holds together).
- Press the mixture into bottom of the baking pan.
- Bake 350° (second-lowest oven rack) for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges are just golden brown.
- Meanwhile in a bowl whisk together brown sugar, corn syrup, 2 teaspoons vanilla, pinch salt and eggs until well blended.
- Mix in chopped walnuts.
- Pour over the crust.
- Bake for about 20 minutes or until set (these bars do not bake out high so watch closely they bake quickly!).
- Cool for about 1 hour or more before slicing.
- At this point you can drizzle with melted chocolate if desired.
- Slice into bar shapes.
