Units
Scale
- 1 cup of unsalted room temperature butter
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 cups of flour
- 200 grams (7 oz)of dark cooking chocolate or milk chocolate
- 1/2 cup of toasted almonds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175 deg. C (350 deg. F) and grease or spray and cook the sheet pan and then line it with parchment paper and spray and cook that to. This will make it easier for you to remove the bars. You can slice your bars in the pan. Prepare another sheet pan to toast your almond nuts once the bar dough is done.
- Cream in a bowl the butter, brown sugar, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and salt well.
- Mix in the flour until all in combined well into a soft dough.
- Press with your fingers the dough evenly over the sheet pan filling all the area. Then with a spatula flatten it well.
- Place in the oven and bake until starting to go golden for about 25-30 minutes. Depends on your oven. Have your almonds ready to roast in the hot oven once the base comes out.
- Have you chocolate squares ready to place on top of the very hot base so they can melt. Wait until they melted then with a spatula spread the chocolate over the top of the base, as evenly as you can.
- Meanwhile the almonds get toasted in the hot oven for about 15 minutes. Take out and crush.
- Sprinkle the crushed almonds over the warm chocolate to melt in. Leave this to cool before slicing into 24 bars for snacks.
Notes
