Ingredients

  1. 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus additional softened butter for the baking dish
  2. 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  3. 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  4. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  5. 1 large egg, lightly beaten

Miss Brown these are the best chewies I have ever ate. I cannot believe it. I’ve been the biggest fan of yours from the day you started on TV and I will continue watching you. I would love to meet you one day before I take to the sky I love Charleston South Carolina And I hope I get to go back there again one day. I am 75 years old and I enjoy all your cooking honey. God bless you and thank you for being on there.

These are the best! Like a praline in a bar. So easy, with ingredients most people have in their pantry. I quadrupled (yes, 4X!) this recipe to take to a party. They were GONE!❤️
Lacey Gonzalez
Made as written as I love almond and vanilla extract in baked goods. Unfortunately for me these were excruciatingly sweet! I love sugar but these seemed overly sweet to me, may try with 1/2 the brown sugar next time. flavor was good , just too sweet.
Patricia Warren
These were very good and I made the recipe as is. What impressed me more than taste was how simple it was to make.

Michael Ellis
Which is correct, 1/2 or 1 teaspoon of each extract? The show/video is different than the recipe.
