Maple-Walnut Blondies With Maple Candy Glaze

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350F.

2. 2

   In a medium mixing bowl, cream together brown sugar, maple sugar, butter and eggs.

3. 3

   Stir in vanilla, baking powder and baking soda.

4. 4

   Then stir in flour 1 cup at a time until well combined.

5. 5

   Fold in walnuts.

6. 6

   Spread batter evenly into a greased 9-inch x 13-inch baking pan.

7. 7

   Note: the batter will be quite thick.

8. 8

   Bake for 30 minutes or until done (a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean).

9. 9

   Cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.

10. 10

    For the glaze: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring maple syrup to a boil.

11. 11

    Boil for 5-8 minutes or until syrup reduces by half and is the consistency of a glaze.

12. 12

    Remove from heat and allow to cool for 2 minutes.

13. 13

    One spoonful at a time, drizzle glaze evenly over warm blondies.

14. 14

    Allow to sit for five minutes until glaze begins to harden--like maple candy.

15. 15

    Cut blondies into 2-inch pieces and serve.

16. 16

    I think these would go really well with maple-walnut ice-cream.
