Categories     Dessert     Bake     Christmas     Almond     Cashew     Pistachio     Honey     Hazelnut     Gourmet     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 64 bars

Number Of Ingredients 19

For crust
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 large egg, lightly beaten
For topping
1 cup whole almonds with skins (3 oz)
1 cup hazelnuts (4 oz)
2/3 cup mild honey
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup salted roasted cashews (6 oz)
1 cup salted roasted shelled pistachios (5 oz)
Special Equipment
a pastry or bench scraper

Steps:

  • Make crust:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F. Butter a 13- by 9-inch baking pan (2 inches deep) and line with 2 crisscrossed sheets of foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides. Butter foil.
  • Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, then blend in butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) until mixture resembles coarse meal with pea-size butter lumps. Add egg and stir with a fork (or pulse) until a ball begins to form.
  • Turn out dough onto a work surface and divide into 4 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once or twice in a forward motion. Gather dough together with scraper.
  • Press dough evenly onto bottom (but not up sides) of baking pan and bake until edges are golden and begin to pull away from sides of pan, 15 to 25 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack, about 40 minutes.
  • Make topping:
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Toast almonds and hazelnuts on separate sides of a shallow baking pan until fragrant and golden on the inside, 8 to 10 minutes. Rub hazelnuts in a kitchen towel to remove any loose skins (some skins may remain).
  • Increase oven temperature to 375°F.
  • Bring honey, brown sugar, and salt to a boil in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then boil, without stirring, 2 minutes. Add butter and cream and boil, stirring, 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in all nuts until coated.
  • Spread mixture evenly over crust and bake until topping is caramelized and bubbling, 15 to 25 minutes. Cool completely in pan on a rack. Lift dessert out of pan using foil overhang and cut into 64 bars. Peel bars from foil.

TOFFEE NUT BARS, A VINTAGE RECIPE



Toffee Nut Bars, a Vintage Recipe image

A great bar cookie recipe, not gooey or chewy. There is a chopped nut base, then a crumb layer, then a thin spongy spicy cake-y layer. The amounts of spices can be adjusted to your taste. These work pretty well for me. From the archives in my collection. My daughter requested these, reminding me that I used to make them a lot. Things do get mislaid, though. And/or forgotten. Naaahhhh, who forgets anything at my age?!

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh ingredients whenever possible. This includes using fresh coffee, nuts, and butter.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a large baking dish: The bars will spread out as they bake, so use a large baking dish to prevent them from overflowing.
  • Bake the bars until they are golden brown: The bars are done baking when they are golden brown on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: The bars will be easier to cut and will hold their shape better if you let them cool completely before cutting them.

Conclusion:

These coffee nut bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make these bars that are sure to be a hit.
