Maple-Nut-Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars image

Maple is a flavor that can go far beyond pancakes, as these nutty, chocolaty, frosted bars prove. They're made with a shortcut start from Betty Crocker™ chocolate chip cookie mix, and get finished with a scratch maple buttercream that's well worth a little bit of extra effort.
