How to Make Chocolate Walnut Bars
- Line a 13x9 inch baking pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil, shiny side up.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened unsalted butter, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 1/2 cups (180g) sifted all-purpose flour and mix until just combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of the crust mixture into the prepared pan and press into an even layer using floured fingers.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- While the crust bakes, prepare the chocolate layer: have 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips ready.
- Remove the crust from the oven and immediately sprinkle evenly with chocolate chips.
- Return to the oven for 3 minutes to melt the chocolate.
- Remove from oven and spread the melted chocolate evenly over the crust using the back of a spoon or spatula. Let stand for 3 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Add 1/4 cup (57g) melted unsalted butter to the egg mixture and beat until well combined.
- Stir in 1 cup (150g) chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
- Spoon the walnut mixture evenly over the melted chocolate layer.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is light golden brown and the edges are darker.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before cutting.
- Trim 1/4 inch from each edge of the pan before cutting into bars using a large, sharp knife.
- Store airtight at room temperature for up to several days, or freeze for longer storage.
