Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 cup butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup walnut pieces
1 cup unblanched or blanched whole almonds
1 cup pecan halves

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, beat 3/4 cup butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar and the almond extract with electric mixer on medium-low speed until blended. On low speed, beat in flour until soft dough forms. Press dough in bottom of ungreased 13x9-inch pan. Bake 17 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, cook 1 cup butter, 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, the honey, corn syrup and vanilla over medium-high heat 12 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until mixture comes to a full rolling boil. Boil 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
  • Sprinkle walnuts, almonds and pecans over crust. Pour brown sugar mixture over nuts. Bake 13 to 15 minutes longer or until top of mixture is bubbly. Cool completely, about 1 hour. For bars, cut into 6 rows by 6 rows.
