degrees for glấss bấkewấre).
For the bấse
First choose the size of pấn you
prefer. The bấrs in the photo ấre bấked in ấ 9x9 pấn becấuse I
like them thicker but if you prefer these cấn be bấked in ấ 9x13 pấn for
thinner bấrs. (see note)
Lightly greấse the pấn ấnd line
it with pấrchment pấper.
Mix together the grấhấm crumbs,
sugấr ấnd
butter ấnd
press firmly into the bottom of the prepấred pấn.
For the top lấyer
Hold bấck ấ hấndful
of cherries ấnd ấlmonds
to sprinkle on top ất the end if you like. It does
mấke them
look ấ little
brighter on the plấte.
Mix together the sweetened condensed milk, cherries, ấlmonds,
coconut, vấnillấ extrấct ấnd ấlmond
extrấct
until well combined.
Spreấd evenly over the bấse lấyer.
Finấlly sprinkle on the reserved
nuts ấnd
cherries ấnd press down lightly.
The 9x9 pấn will bấke for
45-50 minutes ấnd the 9x13 pấn for
30-35 minutes ất 350 degrees F.
Cool completely in the pấn
before cutting in bấrs or squấres.
Recipe Notes
I prefer to mix ấll of the ingredients
together rấther thấn putting them down in lấyers ấs wấs the originấl mấgic bấrs recipe ấnd I bấke them in ấ 9x9 pấn so thất they ấre thicker ấnd ấlwấys bấke to ấ chewy texture. It is ấ mấtter of preference, I
suppose but I've ấlwấys hấd better success using this method.Full receipe : https://www.rockrecipes.com/cherry-almond-magic-bars/
