This layered bar cookie recipe is rich and delicious. And it's a no-bake recipe, so you don't have to use the oven; just the stovetop.
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons cocoa
- 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons cream
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons instant butterscotch pudding mix
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 (11.5-ounce) package milk chocolate chips
Preparation:
In heavy saucepan, combine 1/2 cup butter, brown sugar, and egg and beat well. Cook over medium heat until mixture boils and becomes smooth and thick, stirring constantly with wire whisk. Remove from heat and add graham cracker crumbs, cocoa, and nuts. Press into a 9" square pan.
In medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup softened butter with cream, maple syrup, and pudding mix and beat until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar until well blended. Spoon and spread mixture over the crumb layer in pan.
In small microwave-safe bowl, place milk chocolate chips. Microwave on 50% power for 1 minute, then remove and stir. Continue microwaving at 30-second intervals on 50% power, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth.
Pour over bars and spread to cover. Refrigerate bars until set, then cut into squares. Store, tightly covered, at room temperature. Makes about 25 bars
