Yield Makes approximately 21 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 16

For sable dough
2 1/2 ounces butter
1 ounce powdered sugar
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped (discard pod)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 ounce almond powder
1 small egg
4 ounces all-purpose flour
For caramel layer
3 ounces sugar
3/4 ounce corn syrup
2 ounces butter
3 ounces heavy cream
1/2 vanilla bean, split and scraped
2 ounces toasted walnuts
1 1/2 pounds tempered dark chocolate

Steps:

  • Make sable dough:
  • Combine butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla seeds until smooth. Add the egg and mix well. Sift together the salt, almond powder and flour. Stir into the mixture and blend together. Wrap in plastic wrap, and chill until set, at least 4 hours. Roll out to 1/4-inch think. Cut to and 8-inch square, and prick the surface. Bake at 325°F, until lightly browned. Cool completely.
  • Make caramel layer:
  • Combine sugar and corn syrup in a small pot. Cook over high heat until medium caramel. Add the butter, and mix in. Slowly add the cream and vanilla bean. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mix reaches 112°C (this temperature is crucial). Take mixture off heat and stir in toasted walnuts. Pour out onto a buttered 8-inch square pan. Allow to cool for several minutes. Place the caramel on top of the baked sable and press together lightly. Cut with a sharp knife to 1-inch x 2-inch pieces. Dip in dark chocolate. Set aside until chocolate hardens. Store in a cool, dry place.

Overall, I thought these candy bars were just okay. They weren't as good as I was hoping for.

These candy bars didn't turn out well for me. The caramel was too runny and the chocolate didn't set properly.

The instructions were a bit unclear in some places. I had to guess at what to do in a few steps.

These candy bars are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the caramel.
