A brown sugar/butter/flour base topped with melted bittersweet chocolate and walnuts. Dorie's recipe suggests topping with caramelized rice krispies, but I wanted to freeze most of these and chose walnuts instead. Based on other baker's comments I lowered the oven temperature to 350 and baked for only 15 minutes, leaving me with a crust that was very easy to cut, and so sweet. These bars are more like candy. So easy to make. I hope to try them again with the caramelized rice krispies soon.
The walnuts sound like a delicious option. But I do recommend the caramelized cereal topping if you make them again, it was the best part of the bar.
ReplyDeleteWalnuts, clever! Makes them healthier for sure, and a bit heartier too!
ReplyDeleteYour choice of adding walnuts sounds pretty good. If you do make these again, I agree with Zosia, the caramelized topping was the best part.
