Bar- Walnut Caramel Squares

List of Ingredients





For the crust:

1 cup flour

1/2 cup butter

3 tablespoons sugar

1/3 cup chocolate chips

For the filling:

1 1/3 cups sugar

1/3 cup light corn syrup

1 cup butter (2 sticks)

1 cup whipping cream

2 1/2 cups chopped walnuts

1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted



Recipe



Directions: Preheat oven to 350.

To prepare crust: Combine flour, ½ cup butter and 3 tablespoons sugar in a medium bowl. Mix with a fork until well blended. Press into a lightly greased 9-inch square pan. Prick with a fork and bake until lightly browned, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips; let stand 2 minutes, then spread chocolate over crust.

To prepare filling: Place 1 1/3 cups sugar in a heavy saucepan; cook and stir over low heat until melted and caramel colored, about 20 minutes. Stir in corn syrup, 1 cup butter and cream. Cook over medium heat until mixture reaches 240 on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat and stir in walnuts. Immediately pour over crust, smoothing to make an even layer. Drizzle with melted chocolate and refrigerate until firm. Cut into small squares to serve.

Makes 16 servings.
