1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 egg
1 cup chopped almonds
3 cups confectioners' sugar
⅓ cup evaporated milk
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality coffee beans: The flavor of your coffee bars will depend on the quality of the coffee beans you use. Look for beans that are freshly roasted and ground, and that have a rich, complex flavor.
  • Use a variety of spices: Cardamom is the star of the show in these coffee bars, but you can also add other spices to taste. Try experimenting with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, or allspice.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your coffee bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the coffee bars until they are just set: Overbaking the coffee bars will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them until they are just set in the center.
  • Let the coffee bars cool completely before cutting: This will help them to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Cardamom coffee bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their rich coffee flavor and warm, aromatic spices, they are sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give these coffee bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
