Recipe Description »

Maple bars are not just a dessert. This is a fragrant story of coziness, warmth and taste balance, which seemed to be created in order to remind of quiet autumn days with a cup of tea and a blanket. They perfectly combine the sweetness, saturation and natural depth of maple syrup, which makes each piece truly special.

Unlike classic sweet pies, maple bars are something more concentrated and rich. Their structure varies from a delicate, stretching texture to a crumbly, almost cookie base. But the essence is always the same – the core, impregnated with maple caramel, with barely perceptible notes of vanilla and creamy aftertaste.

These bars can be served both in warm and chilled. In the first case, they gently melt in the mouth, revealing the entire range of aromas. In the second, they are pleasantly crunching, recalling at the same time about home sweets and mini-rosary. They are universal: suitable for a daily snack and for festive serving.

Maple bars can easily be adapted to the mood – add nuts for the texture, sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt for contrast, use cream glaze or even pieces of sugary ginger. Their nature is flexible, but at the same time they always have a recognizable, cozy maple soul.

This is the case when a simple recipe turns into something more. The treat, which not only pleases the taste, but also arouses memories – about the grandmother’s cuisine, about walking under golden trees, about the first cold evenings, when sweet is especially necessary. Maple bars are a dessert that hugs.
