I subscribe to the newsletter for BackOfTheBox.com. As the name implies, the site features recipes found on the back of boxes and cartons.
And, today’s recipe was for raspberry-walnut shortbread bars. The original “box” was apparently Diamond Walnuts, as they’re listed by name as one of the ingredients.
I like both raspberry and shortbread, so that combination sounded pretty tasty from the start. And, walnuts would only tend to improve upon that ;). I was optimistic about my chances of ever being able to complete the recipe as its ingredients were fairly ordinary (walnuts, flour, sugar, butter, jam…).
However, looking more closely, it looks like it could take a while to bake (bake walnuts 8-10 minutes … bake crust for 25 mintutes … let cool for 5 minutes … bake completed-bars for 25 minutes).
So maybe it’s a bit much effort for an everyday cooking jaunt. But, they could work well for a holiday or other special occasion.
