FRENCH NUT BARS

*1964 Recipe*
1 egg
3/4C sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2C ground almonds
1/2C ground walnuts
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 egg whites, unbeaten
Preheat oven to 350. Using a wire whisk or mixer, beat egg until light colored; add sugar gradually; beat until thick, Blend in flour, almonds, walnuts, butter, and vanilla. Beat in egg whites; one at a time. Pour into greased and floured 8+8+2 inch pan. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Cool and frost with Glossy Chocolate Frosting. Cut bars. Makes 3-4 dozen bars. Good mix of chocolate and nuts.
Glossy Chocolate Frosting
1 tablespoon butter
1 square unsweetened chocolate
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1C powdered sugar
2 tablespoon hot milk
Melt butter and chocolate together. Blend in vanilla, powdered sugar and enough milk to make the frosting of spreading consistency.
I would add milk slowly so the frosting won't get to thin. You can always add more powder sugar to thicken. Or go buy the frosting for the bars. It can't hurt! Smile,,,,,,,,,,,,,
