Recipe Box, Chocolate Chip Walnut Shortbread
Posted by the Painted Apron on October 12, 2015 · 11 Comments

This is almost a 5 minute prep recipe
The speedy secret is the shortbread crust….shhhh….don’t tell
Yep, it’s good ole crescent rolls
Bake the crust for 8 minutes
Then top with a mix of corn syrup, butter, sugar, walnuts, vanilla and an egg. Top with chocolate chips
Back in the oven for about 20 minutes
Here’s the hard part, waiting for them to cool enough to cut and taste… 😩

Chocolate Chip Walnut Shortbread
Equipment
- 9 x 13 inch pan

- 2 Tbsp butter or margarine melted
- 1 tsp vanilla

- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions

I love a quick and easy bar recipe Jenna! These look great and super easy with your crescent roll crust!
They sound great Jenna! Tis the season for corn syrup to be on my shopping list:@)
Looks good! I cheat sometimes, too, and just call it “semi-homemade”…Nobody has to know all our secrets, right?
