BLARNEY STONE BARS



Blarney Stone Bars image

These bars are full of flavor, chewy, rich and very moist. I did update the directions to read grease and flour pan because mine stuck and I had to ice the bottom instead of the top. I also added a homemade frosting to this and we like heath bar toffee bits instead of just toffee bits. They are my one of my favorite bar cookies...

BLARNEY STONES



Blarney Stones image

An old family recipe. The original notes called for a "Large Square Pan," but I tried it in an 8" pan, which did not work well - they turned out overly large. So I switched it to a 9x13" pan, but just be sure to spread it evenly (although the dough is a little sticky), or the thin parts will overcook.

Provided by Starrynews

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk, divided, plus a little extra
1 -1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 lb spanish salted peanuts or 1 lb jumbo salted peanuts, hulled

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Place 2 eggs in a 1-cup measuring cup and fill to top with milk (about 1/2 c, varies based on eggs).
  • Mix for 5 minutes with dry ingredients - I do this by hand the way she always did, so I'm not sure whether or not using a mixer would be good.
  • Spread evenly in a greased 9 x 13" pan for 12-15 minutes, and bake until cookies are puffy, golden brown, and cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, prepare a powdered sugar icing by combining 1 c powdered sugar with a small quantity of milk (start with just a tablespoon or so). Mix well. Add milk as needed to reach your desired consistency (a bit like a glaze).
  • Finely crush the peanuts.
  • When cookies are done, let cool for a few minutes before cutting into squares. Coat in icing, then roll in nuts. Let dry on wax paper.

BLARNEY STONES



Blarney Stones image

This recipe has been handed down for at least 4 generations thus far. It is total Blarney! Our family has made this recipe each St. Patrick's Day for approximately 60 years and none of us are Irish! It is a messy experience that we just can not resist putting ourselves through each year all for the sake of tradition! Hope you...

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 eggs
2 c granulated sugar
1 c hot water
2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 dash(es) salt
powdered sugar icing, very thin
ground peanuts, finely ground

Steps:

  • 1. Grind peanuts with a meat grinder or food chopper (The one from Pampered Chef works very well). Set peanuts aside in a shallow dish.
  • 2. Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • 3. Beat eggs and sugar until thick. Gradually add hot water and flour mixture alternately to mix.
  • 4. Pour into greased jelly roll pan.
  • 5. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool.
  • 6. While cake is baking, prepare very thin powdered sugar icing.
  • 7. Cut cooled cake into approximately 1 1/2" X 2" rectangular squares.
  • 8. Now comes the FUN! This is a little less messy if you have two people.
  • 9. You have a shallow dish of icing, a shallow dish of crushed peanuts and the cut bars of cake. Roll the cake in the thin icing and then in the crushed peanuts.
  • 10. Dry on racks or waxed paper. These bars do not keep particularly well. They should be enjoyed and shared with friends on the holiday.
  • 11. HINT: I find that lining the jelly roll pan with parchment paper instead of greasing works well.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh berries, you can use frozen berries that have been thawed.
  • Don't overcook the berries. They should be cooked until they are just softened but still hold their shape.
  • Let the berries cool slightly before adding them to the cream cheese mixture.
  • Use a high-quality cream cheese for the best results.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before using.
  • Beat the cream cheese and sugar together until they are smooth and creamy.
  • Add the sour cream and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
  • Fold in the whipped cream until just combined.
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared crust and smooth the top.
  • Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Conclusion:

Blarney Stones Dessert is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, tangy filling and buttery graham cracker crust, this dessert is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
