Christmas Confetti Bars
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup All Purpose flour
1 egg yolk
6 Hershey bars
1 cup toasted nuts, finely chopped
(walnuts, peanuts, pecans, almonds)
1/2 cup mixed color sprinkles
In preheated oven at 350 degrees, spread nuts over a cookie sheet and dry roast until lightly browned and toasted, about 7 - 10 minutes. Check the nuts frequently and shake/stir to ensure toasting, not burning.
In a mixer, cream the softened butter, sugar and egg yolk, then add the flour until blended. Spread out ton a 9x13 jelly roll pan.
Bake crust at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
Remove the crust from the oven and immediately place the Hershey bars on top of the warm crust. Wait three minutes for the bars to melt, then carefully spread over the entire crust evenly.
Combine the cooled, toasted nuts with the sprinkles and distribute over the melted bars corner to corner. Carefully press lightly into the chocolate without sinking the nuts.
Allow to cool before cutting into 24-36 pieces.
