1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon maple flavor
1 egg
1 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sliced almonds
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon maple flavor
4 to 5 teaspoons milk

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients, especially the maple syrup. This will give your bars the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry.
  • Let the bars cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • If you don't have maple syrup, you can substitute light corn syrup or honey.
  • For a vegan version of these bars, use plant-based milk and butter.

Chewy maple bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their soft and chewy texture, sweet maple flavor, and rich frosting, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
