How to Make Maple Walnut Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- **Crust:** In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, and 1 large egg.
- Stir until a thick dough forms.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides of the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- **Maple Topping:** While the crust is baking, in a separate large bowl, whisk together 1 cup maple syrup, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Beat with an electric mixer until well combined and slightly thickened.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts.
- Pour the maple topping evenly over the hot crust.
- Spread to cover the entire surface.
- Bake for an additional 22-25 minutes, or until the top layer is set and lightly golden.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
- Cut into bars and enjoy! These are best served at room temperature.
