Not long ago, Mary at One Perfect Bite, posted a recipe that had my name on it!! By that, I mean it sounded perfect for ME. It was called Maple Chocolate Walnut Bars and I set out to make them right away. As luck would have it, by the time I got the crust into the oven, I realized I was out of walnuts (so I used sliced almonds) AND I was out of chocolate chips (so I used butterscotch chips). Don't you hate it when you are knee deep into a recipe before you realize your out of something? While I still want to try Mary's recipe, Hubby is totally convinced that the resulting almond-butterscotch version is the ultimate treat (he ate 95% of the pan himself in two days!!).
Here is Mary's original recipe, with my tweaks in red. 1½ cups all purpose flour 2/3 cup white sugar ½ teaspoon salt ¾ cup cold butter 2 large eggs (1) 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk 1½ teaspoons maple extract 2 cups chopped walnuts (I used sliced almonds) 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used butterscotch)
Combine flour, sugar and salt in large bowl and cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs (I did this in the food processor). Stir in one egg (add egg while food processor is running). Press crumbs evenly into an ungreased 9 x 13 baking pan. Bake at 350F for 25 minutes(you will bake it more later).
Beat sweetened condensed milk, one remaining egg and maple extract in a medium bowl, stir in nuts. After crust has baked for 25 minutes, remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips. (Recipe calls for ONE cup of chocolate chips, I used TWO cups of butterscotch chips). Top with nut mixture, spreading evenly to the edges of pan. Bake another 20 to 25 minutes (my oven took 20 minutes). Cool in the pan and cut into bars.
The bars are dense, rich, sweet and moist...totally addicting. NOTE: Mary's recipe called for one cup of chocolate chips. I mis-read it and put in TWO cups of butterscotch chips. This is an adjustement I will definitely do again. I don't think one cup is enough.
