TOFFEE NUT BARS, A VINTAGE RECIPE



Toffee Nut Bars, a Vintage Recipe image

A great bar cookie recipe, not gooey or chewy. There is a chopped nut base, then a crumb layer, then a thin spongy spicy cake-y layer. The amounts of spices can be adjusted to your taste. These work pretty well for me. From the archives in my collection. My daughter requested these, reminding me that I used to make them a lot. Things do get mislaid, though. And/or forgotten. Naaahhhh, who forgets anything at my age?!

TOFFEE BARS



Toffee Bars image

My mom made these bars when I was a child, and she still does, so they bring back a lot of memories for me. This recipe is my own variation that I developed in recent years; I love the colors of the cranberries and white chocolate - they're very festive. But sometimes I make them just like Mom with milk chocolate and walnuts. Most of the time I forget to add the salt, and I find it doesn't make any difference - they always taste delicious and are always a hit!

Time 1h

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 ounces white chocolate or milk chocolate, chopped into 1-inch squares
3/4 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup dried cranberries, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a mixer, beat the butter, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla. Gradually mix in flour, then salt, and continue beating until well blended, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Transfer batter to a 9 by 13-inch pan, and flatten out with a rubber spatula.
  • Bake until slightly browned, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately place squares of white chocolate on top, gently spreading with an off-set spatula or dull knife as they melt. Sprinkle with nuts and cranberries. Allow to set, about 15 minutes, and then cut into squares.

Time 3h5m

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 cups (lightly packed) light brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole hazelnuts (with or without skins)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Lightly butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan, preferably a light-colored aluminum or steel pan. (Dark pans cause over-browning.)
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add the butter, and cook until the butter foams and turns amber brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour the butter into a large bowl and set aside until cool enough to touch.
  • Meanwhile, sift the flour, baking powder, nutmeg and salt together into a bowl.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, or using a hand mixer, combine the brown sugar with the butter and mix until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla, and mix until smooth, thick and light, 3 to 5 minutes. (You want to make sure the mixture is very light and airy, like frosting.) Stir in the sifted flour mixture and mix by hand until incorporated.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it into an even layer, smoothing the top. Scatter the hazelnuts, pressing lightly to submerge them about halfway in the batter.
  • Bake until the surface wrinkles evenly and turns nut brown, about 35 minutes. Let cool completely, at least 2 hours, before cutting into 2-inch bars.

  • On middle rack of oven, bake about 20-25 minutes. They will look uncooked if you try to cut into them. Resist the urge and let them cool on wire rack for about 1 hour. Cut into bar shapes and enjoy with some yummy Almond Breeze, or your favorite non-dairy milk.
