Maple Walnut Bars image

This is a quick and easy bar cookie made with a cake mix crust. I was given a huge bottle of maple syrup on the condition that I make cookies and this is what I used it for. These are not overly sweet and a great fall cookie.

I would not recommend this recipe to anyone. It's a lot of work for a dessert that's just okay.

These bars are a waste of time and ingredients. They didn't turn out at all like the picture.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bars turned out really dry. I think I might have used too much flour.

These bars are really good, but they're a bit too dense for my liking. I might try using a different recipe next time.

I had some trouble getting the bars to set properly. I think I might have overbaked them a little bit.

These bars are a little too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time.

I love the maple flavor in these bars. It's not too strong, but it's definitely there. The walnuts add a nice crunch and texture.

I'm not a big fan of walnuts, so I substituted pecans instead. The bars turned out great! The pecans added a nice nutty flavor without being overpowering.

I made these bars for my family and they were a huge hit! My kids loved the sweet and gooey filling, and my husband loved the crunchy walnut topping.

These bars are so easy to make, even for a beginner baker like me. I love that I can use ingredients that I already have on hand.

I was a little skeptical about making these bars because I'm not a huge fan of maple syrup. But I'm so glad I tried them! The maple flavor is subtle and not overpowering at all.

I've made these bars several times now and they always turn out perfect. They're the perfect combination of sweet and nutty.
