Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

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

Steps:

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bars turned out really dense and dry. I'm going to try again with a different recipe.

These were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

I'm not a huge fan of maple, but I really enjoyed these bars. The glaze was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.

I followed the recipe exactly but my bars didn't turn out as chewy as I expected. They were still good, but not quite what I was hoping for.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise they were very good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

The recipe was easy to follow and the bars turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more maple flavor to the glaze.
