These Chocolate Walnut Butter Tart Bars are so easy to make and combine the flavour of butter tarts with crunchy walnuts and chocolate chips. YUM!
Chocolate Walnut Butter Tart Bars
One of my favourite baked goodies is a sweet, sticky, caramel-y, delicious butter tart and these butter tart bars are very reminiscent of this Canadian classic pastry. This recipe has the background taste of a legendarily good Canadian butter tart, with the added crunch of toasty walnuts and luscious chocolate. Another perfect recipe for the Holiday freezer or at any time of the year.

I often like to try a new recipe for Christmas baking. These looked so yummy, I decided to give them a try. I used an 8×8 pan. However, couldn’t wait for refrigerator cold to cut. They were just as yummy as they looked. They will be on my list as a do again. Hubby tested and approved.
Just wondering if anyone had froze these before??
Yes, for about a week. They were still good.
Hello this is my first time on you site, im ever so glad i came a cross it. Love pinterest for that reason. Your bars look so soooo scrumptious!!!!!!!! i was just wondering what type of chocolate you used?
I like dark chocolate but semi sweet is fine.
It looks like there are 3 layers, not two. It looks like there is a chocolate layer in the middle with a walnut and a flour mixture on top of that. ??? How did you get the chocolate to stay in the middle? It does not seem to have any chocolate on top.
It does look very yummy though!! I would like to make it.
There are not three layers.
