| Comments: Your kids will love these great little chocolate caramel snacks, and will want you to bake more of them for the next time their friends drop by. |
Ingredients:  For Crust: 1 cup all-purpose flour ½ cup (1 stick) cold butter, cut into pieces 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips For Filling: 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar 1 cup (2 sticks) butter 1 cup whipping cream 1/3 cup light corn syrup 2½ cups chopped walnuts 2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips, melted |
| Instructions: Preheat oven to 350°F. To Prepare crust: Combine flour, ½ cup butter and 3 Tbsp. sugar in a food processor or medium bowl. Pulse or mix with a pastry blender until dough resembles coarse crumbs. Press into the bottom of a foil-lined 9-inch square pan. Bake until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips; let stand 2 minutes, then spread chocolate over crust. To Prepare filling: Place 1 1/3 cups sugar in a large heavy saucepan; stir over low heat until melted and caramel colored, about 20 minutes. Stir in 1 cup butter, cream and corn syrup. Mixture will bubble up and clump together. Simmer over medium-low heat stirring frequently until mixture is smooth and reaches 234 to 240°F (soft ball stage) on a candy thermometer, about 35 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in walnuts. Immediately pour over crust. Drizzle with melted chocolate. Refrigerate until firm. Use foil to lift out of pan; transfer to cutting board. Cut into 16 squares. Note: To test for soft ball stage without a thermometer, drop a small amount of sugar mixture into a dish of very cold water. If sugar has reached soft ball stage, it will form a soft ball that can be flattened and picked up out of the water. |

I made these yesterday and although they are time-consuming to make, the result is a candybar-like brownie. I served them to some friends who are not fond of walnuts and they LOVED them. They begged me for the recipe.

I fell in love with this dessert the first time I saw it. This brownie bar is the bomb (very delicious) and it tastes better than it looks and it looks amazing.
