Ingredients:

1 tsp

Salt

Directions:

1

Position the rack in the middle of the oven

2

Heat the oven to 375°F

3

Line a 10 1/2 x 15 1/2 x 1-inch jelly roll pan with aluminum foil and butter the foil

4

In a medium bowl, thoroughly whisk together the flour, cinnamon, and salt

5

Set aside

6

In a large bowl set over a pot of barely simmering water, slowly melt the butter and the chocolate

7

Stir occasionally

8

Remove from the heat and, using a whisk, blend the brown sugar into the mixture, stirring until melted

9

Gradually mix in the granulated sugar

10

Stir in the eggs and the vanilla

11

Add the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined

12

Do not overmix

13

Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan, smoothing it with the back of a tablespoon

14

Sprinkle the surface with the macadamia nuts and press them gently into the batter

15

Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the top is set and the bar begins to pull away from the sides of the pan

16

Do not overbake

17

The squares should remain slightly moist on the inside

18

(Note: If the batter rises in the pan during baking, prick the bubbles gently with a fork to release the air

19

) Remove from the oven and let stand until almost cool

20

While the bar is cooling, make the glaze

21

To web the bar, dip a small whisk into the glaze and squiggle it across the pan

22

If the glaze becomes too thick, thin it with a little very hot water

23

Let stand until the glaze is set

24

Carefully lift the bar from the pan by grasping the foil on both sides and place it on a large cutting board

25

Pull down the sides of the foil and cut into 2-inch squares using a thin-bladed, sharp knife

26

Storage: Store in an airtight container, layered between strips of wax paper, for up to 5 days
