Best 5 Maple Toffee Bars Recipes

MAPLE TOFFEE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Beat butter and vegetable shortening with brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and maple extract until smooth; stir in flour and salt. Lightly press the dough into a 10x15-inch baking dish.
• Bake until the crust is set and lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
• Melt chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Remove crust from oven and spread melted chocolate in a layer on top. Sprinkle with walnuts. Cut bars while still warm; let chocolate set, about 1 hour, before serving.

MAPLE TOFFEE SHORTBREAD COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Mix butter, brown sugar, and maple extract together in a bowl until smooth. Add flour; stir to combine. Fold in toffee bits. Spoon batter, about 1 tablespoon per cookie, onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are lightly browned, about 15 minutes.

CHEWY MAPLE BARS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (if using dark or nonstick pan, heat oven to 325°F). Lightly grease bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with shortening or spray with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, beat brown sugar, butter, maple flavor and egg with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour, baking soda, salt and 1/2 cup of the almonds. Pat dough in pan with lightly floured fingers.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir all Maple Icing ingredients until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle cooled bars with Maple Icing; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup almonds. Let stand 5 minutes or until set. For bars, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows.

TOFFEE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lightly butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan, preferably a light-colored aluminum or steel pan. (Dark pans cause over-browning.)
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add the butter, and cook until the butter foams and turns amber brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour the butter into a large bowl and set aside until cool enough to touch.
• Meanwhile, sift the flour, baking powder, nutmeg and salt together into a bowl.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, or using a hand mixer, combine the brown sugar with the butter and mix until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla, and mix until smooth, thick and light, 3 to 5 minutes. (You want to make sure the mixture is very light and airy, like frosting.) Stir in the sifted flour mixture and mix by hand until incorporated.
• Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it into an even layer, smoothing the top. Scatter the hazelnuts, pressing lightly to submerge them about halfway in the batter.
• Bake until the surface wrinkles evenly and turns nut brown, about 35 minutes. Let cool completely, at least 2 hours, before cutting into 2-inch bars.

• Bake in preheated oven until crust is light brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Immediately sprinkle chocolate chips over hot crust. Let stand until soft, about 5 minutes, and spread evenly; sprinkle with nuts. Cool pan on wire rack for 30 minutes.
