This recipe uses cake mix, but if you don't find what you're looking for,
perhaps you could use it as a starting point to develop your own recipe from
scratch.


Maple Walnut Bars

1 package yellow cake mix, divided
1/3 cup butter, melted
4 large eggs, divided
1-1/3 cups maple syrup
1/3 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 13×9-inch pan. Reserve 2/3 cup of the cake
mix; set aside. Combine remaining cake mix, melted butter and 1 egg in large
bowl. Stir until thoroughly blended. (Mixture will be crumbly.) Press into
the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden
brown. Combine reserved cake mix, maple syrup, remaining 3 eggs, sugar and
vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Beat at low speed with electric mixer for 3
minutes. Pour over crust. Sprinkle with walnuts. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or
until filling is set. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Cut into 24
bars. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
