Maple-Walnut Blondies With Maple Candy Glaze

• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup granulated maple sugar (if you cannot find, substitute with brown sugar)
• 23 cup butter, melted
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 14 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
• 1 cup maple syrup, real

1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, cream together brown sugar, maple sugar, butter and eggs.
3. Stir in vanilla, baking powder and baking soda.
4. Then stir in flour 1 cup at a time until well combined.
5. Fold in walnuts.
6. Spread batter evenly into a greased 9-inch x 13-inch baking pan.
7. Note: the batter will be quite thick.
8. Bake for 30 minutes or until done (a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean).
9. Cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.
10. For the glaze: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring maple syrup to a boil.
11. Boil for 5-8 minutes or until syrup reduces by half and is the consistency of a glaze.
12. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 2 minutes.
13. One spoonful at a time, drizzle glaze evenly over warm blondies.
14. Allow to sit for five minutes until glaze begins to harden--like maple candy.
15. Cut blondies into 2-inch pieces and serve.
16. I think these would go really well with maple-walnut ice-cream.
