Susan Shaner

  • 1/2 C. butter, softened
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 T. water
  • 1 1/4 C. all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate morsels or small pieces
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 C. sugar
  • 1 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 6 T. butter, melted
  • 2 C. walnuts, fine chopped
  • powder sugar

Heat oven to 350°. Cream butter in large mixer bowl then beat in egg yolk and water. Mix in flour, 1 tsp. sugar and baking powder. Press dough into greased 13″x9″x2″ baking pan then bake 10 minutes. Sprinkle with chocolate morsels and bake 2 minutes more to melt the chocolate. Remove from oven and spread chocolate evenly over crust. Beat eggs in large mixing bowl until thick, about 3 minutes. Beat in 3/4 C. sugar then stir in nuts, melted butter and vanilla.
Pour nut mixture over chocolate layer. Bake until set, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in pan on wire rack. Cut into 2″xl” bars. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Store in airtight container. Note: Use good chocolate with high cocoa butter content, otherwise you will have trouble making it spread.
