Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 3/4 cups organic all purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cardamom
2 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 eggs slightly beaten
2/3 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup walnuts chopped
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. COOKS NOTE: Assemble all the ingredients before you begin. You will need one large, one medium, and one small mixing bowl. I use a 10 x 15 by 1 inch, well-greased Air Baking Pan. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake 35 minutes. Cool on Rack. Cut into 24 squares.
  • 2. DRY INGREDIENTS: In the large mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder, salt, and cardamom. Mix well with a whisk.
  • 3. WET INGREDIENTS: In the medium mixing bowl, add the 2/3 cup of melted butter, 2 1/4 cups packed brown sugar, 3 beaten eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix well with a large wooden spoon.
  • 4. NUTS AND CHOCOLATE: In the small mixing bowl, add one cup of chopped walnuts, and one cup of chocolate chips.
  • 5. COMBINE the DRY INGREDIENTS in the large bowl with the WET INGREDIENTS in the medium bowl.
  • 6. Now add the chocolate chips and the nuts. Stir with a spoon to combine.
  • 7. That dough is going to be stiff!
  • 8. Dump the stiff dough in the greased baking pan.
  • 9. Grease your hands with butter. It will make handling the dough much easier. Press and pat the dough until it covers the surface of the pan evenly in all four corners.
  • 10. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 35 minutes at 325 degrees. Cut into 24 bars before they get totally cool.
  • 11. For a great dessert, serve warm from the oven with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!

Overall, I thought these Jungle Bars were a good recipe. They were easy to make and tasted pretty good. I would definitely make them again.

These bars were a bit too crumbly for my liking. I think I'll try using a different graham cracker crust next time.

I had some trouble getting the bars to set properly. I think I might have used too much butter in the crust.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I would still recommend them to others.

I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter, but these bars were still really good. The chocolate chips and graham cracker crust balanced out the peanut butter flavor perfectly.

I love the simplicity of this recipe. It's a great way to use up leftover graham crackers and chocolate chips.

These bars were easy to make and turned out great! I used a gluten-free graham cracker crust and they were still delicious.

I've made these Jungle Bars several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're the perfect combination of sweet, salty, and crunchy.

I'm not usually a fan of no-bake desserts, but these Jungle Bars changed my mind. They were so easy to make and tasted incredibly delicious. The peanut butter and chocolate chips were the perfect touch.

Bonnie's Jungle Bars were an absolute delight! The combination of the sweet and tangy filling with the crunchy crust was heavenly. I couldn't resist going back for seconds (and thirds!).
