A Rush Taste Test

School has started and all I seem to be doing is sleeping and reading. However on top of that, I still work and am currently in the midst of editing a cookbook that a friend of mine is working on. Times are busy is what they are.
Today, I have to go to class. In about an hour in fact. But as I have recently purchased a litre of maple syrup from the farmer's market, I felt that it really had to be taste tested out. As such, I made some amazing maple walnut squares this afternoon.
As I said, I have to leave for class shortly, so I will leave you with the recipe and just tell you that they are ridiculously delicious! I adapted the recipe very slightly from it's original as well, so here is what I made.

Maple Walnut Squares (adapted from Foodland Ontario recipe):

base:
3/4 cup all purpose white flour
3/4 cup all purple whole wheat flour
1/4 light brown sugar
1/2 cup margerine

topping:
2/3 cup light brown sugar
1 cup amber maple syrup
2 large eggs, beaten
2 tbsp all purpose white flour
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts

1. Stir together flour and sugar.
2. Cut in margerine and stir with a fork until mealy.
3. Press into an 11x7 inch pan. Bake at 325 F for 12 minutes.
4. While the base is baking, combine maple syrup and sugar in a small saucepan. Simmer for 5 minutes. Let cool and set aside.
5. Once cool, pour over eggs, stirring constantly.
6. Stir in flour and vanilla.
7. Pour over base and sprinkle with nuts.
8. Bake at 350 F for 25 minutes.
9. Let cool and cut into squares.
