Cool and cut into bars.
CHOCOLATE NUT BARS
Steps:
- FOR THE BASE: Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. In a food processor, combine the flour and sugar. Cut the butter into 1-inch pieces and put it on top of the flour mixture. Add the almonds and pulse to blend until the butter pieces are the size of a pea. Press the mixture into the buttered pan. Bake for 25 minutes, until the edges are beginning to color. FOR THE TOPPING: In an electric mixer, cream the butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla and then beat in the flour and salt, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add the chopped chocolate and nuts and mix just to incorporate. Spread the topping over the crust and bake for another 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown. The bars should be firm to the touch. TO SERVE: Let the bars cool before cutting.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is a good choice.
- Toast the nuts before using them to enhance their flavor. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-10 minutes, or until they are fragrant and golden brown.
- Use a food processor to chop the nuts and chocolate finely. This will help to create a smooth and even mixture.
- Press the mixture firmly into the pan to prevent it from crumbling. Use a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap to help you press the mixture evenly.
- Chill the bars for at least 30 minutes before cutting them. This will help them to firm up and hold their shape.
- Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
