CHOCOLATE-WALNUT FUDGE BARS



Chocolate-Walnut Fudge Bars image

What's the best thing about these chocolate treats: the cookie crust, the fudgy filling, or the walnut topping? It's a tie. Download ties and collars. Print onto card stock, and use double-sided tape to attach to a box of any size (ours is 4 inches square by 5 inches high). Part rich fudge, part crumbly cookie, these chocolaty bars take decadence to a new level.

Yield Makes 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

Vegetable oil cooking spray
27 store-bought chocolate wafer cookies (6 ounces)
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
Table salt
1 stick plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup toasted and finely chopped walnuts
Coarse salt, preferably fleur de sel

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray, and line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on long sides. Spray parchment.

  • Pour chocolate mixture over baked cookie layer, smoothing top with an offset spatula. Sprinkle walnuts and coarse salt over top, pressing slightly to adhere. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Remove fudge from dish using parchment to lift, and transfer to a cutting board; remove parchment. Trim edges of fudge with a sharp knife, and cut crosswise into six 2-inch-wide strips. Cut each strip crosswise into 3 equal bars, then cut each bar in half on the diagonal to form 36 triangles.

CHOCOLATE WALNUT BARS



Chocolate Walnut Bars image

I recently adopted this recipe from the Recipezaar account and just made them last night. They are amazing! Here's what the original poster said about these bars: "These aren't difficult to make, but they look fancy because they have three distinct layers. A shortbread crust is topped by a chocolate layer, which is then topped with a thin walnut layer. The bars freeze well, and they'll keep for several days at room temperature if stored airtight. I've even mailed these successfully, wrapping them in pairs with the bottoms together and packaging them in a sturdy, well-padded carton before placing them in a similarly sturdy, well-padded box. The most important thing to remember about these bars is that the chocolate layer needs some time to set up, even after the bars have cooled to room temperature. I usually make the bars the night before I'm going to cut and serve them, but chilling the bars after they've cooled for about 20 minutes should have the same effect."

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 1h5m

Yield 32 bars

Number Of Ingredients 10

2/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips or to taste bittersweet chocolate chips, good-quality (2 cups)
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly (1 stick)
1 1/2 cups walnuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Line a 13 by 9 inch pan (at least 1-1/2 inches deep) with heavy-duty aluminum foil, shiny side up. Set aside.
  • Adjust rack to center of oven; preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • For Crust: In small bowl, combine softened butter, sugar, and vanilla. By hand, cream until well-mixed and fluffy.
  • Add sifted flour and stir to combine.
  • Place crust mixture by small spoonfuls all over bottom of lined pan. Keeping your hands lightly floured, press crust mixture into an even layer with fingertips and/or knuckles (this mixture is a bit sticky, so re-flour your hands lightly as necessary).
  • Place in preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
  • While crust bakes, make sure chocolate chips are at hand.
  • Start Walnut Layer by combining eggs, sugar, and vanilla in medium bowl. By hand, beat until well-mixed. Set aside.
  • When Crust has baked for 10 minutes, remove from oven to cooling rack.
  • Immediately sprinkle with chocolate chips as evenly as possible. Return to oven for 3 minutes to melt chocolate; remove to cooling rack.
  • With back of spoon or offset spatula, spread chocolate evenly over crust. Allow to stand for about 3 minutes.
  • During this standing period, add slightly cooled melted butter to egg mixture and beat in.
  • Stir in walnuts until evenly distributed.
  • After standing period, place walnut mixture by spoonfuls all over melted chocolate, distributing walnuts as evenly as possible.
  • Return to oven. Bake 20 to 25 minutes.
  • When done, top of walnut layer will be a light golden brown; edges will be darker. Remove to cooling rack.
  • Cool completely before storing airtight.
  • Before cutting, see Notes at beginning of recipe. To cut, use a large, sharp, straight- edged knife. Trim about 1/4 inch from each edge before cutting into bars.
  • Store bars airtight at room temperature for up to several days, or freezer for longer storage.

cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
2
teaspoons vanilla
1
teaspoon salt
3
cups walnuts, toasted and finely ground*
8
ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
3
tablespoons butter
1
tablespoon light-color corn syrup
1
tablespoon rum
About 40 walnut halves, toasted (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan; set aside. In a large bowl, beat the 1 cup butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the 1/2 cup brown sugar. Beat until combined, scraping side of bowl occasionally. Gradually add flour, beating on low speed just until combined (mixture will look slightly dry). Press mixture into prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Carefully spread preserves over hot crust.
  • In another large bowl, beat eggs on medium-high speed for 3 minutes. Add the 1-1/2 cups brown sugar, the cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt. Beat on low speed for 3 minutes. Gradually add the finely ground walnuts, beating just until combined.
  • Carefully spread chocolate mixture evenly over preserves. Bake about 30 minutes or until set. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
  • For Icing::
  • In a medium heavy saucepan, combine bittersweet chocolate and the 3 tablespoons butter. Cook and stir over low heat until melted. Stir in corn syrup and rum. Spread icing over cooled uncut cookies. If desired, top with the walnut halves. Let stand for 1 to 2 hours or until chocolate is set. Using a sharp knife, loosen edges of cookies from sides of pan. Cut into bars. Makes about 40 bars.
  • $(".instructions p").each(function() {
  • if ($(this).text().match( /^\d+\.$/ ) == null) {
  • $(this).addClass("textInstruction");
  • }
  • });
