LA CHOY HONEY NUT CRUNCH BARS

Steps:

• Grease a 9" square baking pan, or spray well with non-stick spray.
• Place the butter, honey, brown sugar and cinnamon into a 3-quart saucepan.
• Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
• Boil for one minute, and remove from heat.
• Immediately add vanilla, then noodles, and gently stir until all the noodles are coated.
• Stir in the nuts.
• Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan and pat down level using wax paper to protect your hands and make it easier to give it a flat surface.
• Let the mixture stand at least one hour before cutting into bars with a very large, heavy knife.
• NOTE: I find it easier to remove the whole thing in one piece to a cutting board and then slice them.
• Makes about 24 bars, depending on how large you slice them.

BLACKBERRY CRUNCH BARS

Steps:

• For the crust:.
• Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 9x13 glass baking dish.
• Place the butter, sugar, flour, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer. On low speed with the paddle attachment, mix until the butter is in small pea-sized chunks. (This could also be done by hand with a pastry blender).
• Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. You can set aside the bowl to use for the topping.
• Bake until the surface is dry and the edges are very lightly browned, about 20-22 minutes. Let cool at least 20 minutes before adding filling.
• For the filling:.
• Pop a berry into your mouth. If it's an early-season berry from the store, it might be a little tart. If so, and you want make the filling a bit sweeter, add the extra 2 Tablespoons of sugar to the bowl in the next step.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the 1/2 cup sugar (+ 2 T extra if needed), cornstarch, and salt. Stir in the berries and zest until combined. Set aside.
• For the topping:.
• In the bowl of the electric mixer, place the butter, sugar, cinnamon, salt, flour and vanilla. On low speed with the paddle attachment, mix until the butter is in small pea-sized chunks and the mixture begins to clump together. (This could also be done by hand with a pastry blender).
• To assemble:.
• Spread the filling on the cooled crust. Especially if the berries are large, the filling might not evenly cover the crust. That's OK.
• Spread the topping over the filling. The whole thing will look pretty lumpy. That's OK.
• Bake until the topping has browned lightly and the berry filling is bubbling, about 40 minutes.
• Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into bars. They are best eaten with a fork because they're a little crumbly.
