Time 2h35m

Yield 25

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ Sugar Cookie Mix
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup cold butter
1 egg
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
2 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur
1 teaspoon instant coffee granules or crystals
1 cup whipping cream
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon Irish cream liqueur
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
25 cinnamon sticks (2 inch)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom and sides of 8-inch square pan with cooking spray. In large bowl, place cookie mix and pecans. Cut in butter, using pastry blender or fork, until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. With fork, stir in egg. Press half of cookie mixture in bottom of pan. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Reserve remaining cookie mixture.
  • Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir milk, 2 tablespoons liqueur and the coffee granules until well blended. Pour evenly over warm crust. Sprinkle reserved cookie mixture over top. Bake 25 to 30 minutes longer or until golden brown. Cool 30 minutes at room temperature. Refrigerate 1 hour to cool completely. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting into bars (5 rows by 5 rows). Store bars covered at room temperature.
  • Just before serving, in small bowl, beat whipping cream, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon liqueur and the vanilla with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Top each bar with dollop of whipped cream; sprinkle with ground cinnamon. Insert cinnamon stick into each dollop of whipped cream.

These bars are a great way to use up leftover coffee. I always have a few cups of coffee left over in the morning, and these bars are the perfect way to use it up.
