00:00Hello and welcome to Matt's Casual Cooking. Today we are going to be making walnut bars.

00:10A very fun and delicious treat that you can take really anywhere that you want. So we're going to

00:16go over all the ingredients and how to put together and let's get to it. Alright folks,

00:23so we're going to go over the ingredients that you're going to need today. Now for starters,

00:28for the crust, you need one and one quarter cups of all-purpose flour. You're going to need three

00:35tablespoons of granulated sugar and you're going to need half a cup of butter. You're going to want to

00:41make sure that's softened before you do it. Now for your filling, you're going to need three eggs

00:49and you're going to want to just whisk those together first. You need one cup of light corn syrup.

00:56You're going to need one cup of granulated sugar. You're going to need two tablespoons of butter and

01:02we're going to melt that. You need one teaspoon of vanilla and you're going to need one and a half

01:10cups of walnuts and you're going to make sure those are chopped or you can also coarsely chop them.

01:16So we're going to go over how to put everything together here in a minute and I will

01:19see you then. Alright folks, now for your crust, as you can see, I've got the sugar flour and I've got

01:29the butter in here and you can see I've cut up the butter in like smaller chunks so this will be easier.

01:36So what you want to do is you want to take a pie cutter and you just want to press it down

01:43and what you're looking for and if the butter kind of sticks just kind of press it off. What we're

01:49looking for is this to be a crumb-like texture. So go ahead and cut your butter in until you start getting

02:00a lot of crumbs in it really. So go ahead and do that and then what you want to get out is either

02:09an eight by eight or a nine by nine pan and some parchment paper or aluminum foil. So we'll see you

02:16then. Alright folks, so we're done. We got a couple big chunks in here but that's all right. For the most

02:26part this is a very kind of crumb-like texture. So what you want to do now, like I said, get out your

02:32eight by eight or nine by nine pan and what you're going to do is the best way to do this is get out

02:39some parchment paper or some aluminum foil or if not you can grease the bottom of this or keep it un-greased

02:48if you want. This will just help it pull out and cut a little bit better and easier cleanup as well.

02:56So what we want to do, go ahead and pour your crust in there and shake that up a little bit.

03:06Then all we're going to do, and you might have to rearrange your parchment here to kind of get it

03:12straight, is you just want to press it down into all the corners.

03:18Just get it flat as you can.

03:36So once you think it's good enough, what you want to do is we're going to turn our oven to 325 degrees

03:45and we're going to cook it for about 25 to 30 minutes or until this top is nice and golden brown.

03:52So go ahead and do that and we're going to move on to the filling

03:57after that. So we'll see you then.

04:02All right folks, so right now I've got everything except the eggs mixed in and now

04:10you don't have to put the nuts in here initially either. You can put them in after we've put the

04:16eggs in. So go ahead, add your eggs.

04:30There's much in there. Okay, I think we're good.

04:32What you want to do is you're just going to whisk it all together and just until it's all combined.

04:41That's really all we're looking for. We don't have to make it look nice. Just like I said, combine

04:47everything all together in with your whisk.

05:00Okay, so it's it's pretty much done. It's really quick.

05:03So once this is done, we're just going to set it off to the side until we get the crust done. So

05:12go ahead and do that and I will see you once the crust is done.

05:16All right folks, so I'm not going to touch it because this pan is still kind of hot but we've

05:23got a nice light brown uh coloring to the crust. So all we're going to do now is take your filling,

05:32just going to pour it in

05:37and a lot of it is just going to kind of pool into

05:40to it. So you don't necessarily need to push it out or anything.

05:50Just try to get as much as you can. All right now maybe a little bit more. I'll make sure I

05:58got as much as I can so I don't have to clean as much up afterwards. Okay, so what we're going to do

06:05now, well I'm still doing this, turn your oven to 350 degrees and you're just going to cook this

06:15for one hour. That's it. After that, go ahead and take it out of the oven and I will see you at the end

06:25then. So see you then. All right folks, so you can see we are done

06:33and once you pull them out of the oven what you want to do is you just want to go ahead and set

06:39them in like a cool place and you want to let it just sit in the pan itself to cool completely to

06:45room temperature. And with the parchment paper here it's going to be easy to pull it out and cut it

06:52into bars as well. Now this is really good if you want to take it for like an energy snack on like a hike

07:00or take it to you know a barbecue coming up or just a nice get together. It's a really good

07:05it's a really good treat for everybody. So if you enjoyed making this recipe today, like, subscribe,
