1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
8 ounces milk chocolate, cut into 1-inch squares
¾ cup finely chopped walnuts
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
In an electric mixer, cream the butter, sugar, egg yolk and vanilla until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the flour and salt and mix thoroughly. Transfer the batter to a 9×13x2 inch baking pan and spread evenly. Bake approximately 20-25 minutes or until bars are slightly browned.
