Maple is a flavor that can go far beyond pancakes, as these nutty, chocolaty, frosted bars prove. They’re made with a shortcut start from Betty Crocker™ chocolate chip cookie mix, and get finished with a scratch maple buttercream that’s well worth a little bit of extra effort.

Ingredients

Bar

Frosting

  • 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon maple extract
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 9-inch square pan with cooking spray.
  • 2
    In large bowl, mix cookie mix, 1/2 cup softened butter, the egg and 1/2 teaspoon maple extract with spoon until soft dough forms. Stir in 1/2 cup walnuts. Spread dough evenly in pan.
  • 3
    Bake 20 to 24 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
  • 4
    In medium bowl, beat powdered sugar, 1/4 cup softened butter, 2 tablespoons of the milk and 1/4 teaspoon maple extract with spoon until smooth and fluffy. If frosting is too stiff to spread, add additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time. Frost top of bar. Sprinkle 1/4 cup walnuts on top. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows.

    Store loosely covered.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Toasting nuts adds depth and richness to any baked good. To toast walnuts, heat oven to 350°F. Spread nuts in ungreased shallow pan. Bake uncovered 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light brown.
  • tip 2
    The secret for cutting bars easily is to line pan with heavy-duty or nonstick foil. When it is time to cut bars, just lift baked bar with the foil out of pan, and cut. This also makes cleanup extra easy.
