Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 cup mixed nuts, chopped (such as almonds, walnuts, and pecans)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons corn syrup
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix until well combined and crumbly.
3. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the base.
4. In a saucepan, combine the chopped nuts, brown sugar, corn syrup, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat until the mixture starts to bubble.
5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the nut filling over the base in the baking pan.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the filling is set.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan.
8. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until smooth and melted.
9. Pour the melted chocolate over the cooled bars and spread it evenly with a spatula.
10. Refrigerate the bars for about 1 hour or until the chocolate is set.
11. Once the chocolate is set, remove the bars from the pan and cut into squares or bars.
12. Serve and enjoy!
