Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together flour, sugar, and chopped nuts like pastry.
- Press the mixture into a 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Bake until light brown, about 10 to 15 minutes at 350°F.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar, or experiment with adding a pinch of cinnamon. You can also substitute the chopped nuts with chocolate chips or dried fruit for a different twist. If you want a gluten-free version, try using almond flour or a gluten-free all-purpose blend.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these chippers warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk. For a festive touch, consider serving them alongside Christmas Cranberry Mold during holiday gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, you can freeze the bars. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place them in a freezer bag. To reheat, simply pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through.
