These colorful bars, with the eye-catching appeal of candied cherries and the crunchy goodness of mixed nuts, are certain to become a holiday favorite year after year. I get lots of compliments on the rich, chewy crust and the combination of sweet and salty flavors. Ingredients:
1-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2/3 cup packed brown sugar, divided |
3/4 cup cold butter, cubed |
1 egg |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1-1/2 cups mixed nuts |
1-1/2 cups green and red candied cherries, halved |
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine flour and 1/3 cup brown sugar; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into a lightly greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, beat egg. Add salt and remaining brown sugar. Stir in the nuts, cherries and chocolate chips.
3. Spoon evenly over crust. Bake 20-25 minutes longer or until set. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Yield: 3 dozen.
