Creating these amazing Nussecken requires following a few simple steps. Here’s how to do it:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until fluffy.
3. Add Egg and Extract: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
5. Spread the Dough: Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking tray, ensuring a smooth surface.
6. Prepare the Topping: In a saucepan, combine granulated sugar, heavy cream, honey, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium until the sugar dissolves.
7. Add Nuts: Stir in the mixed nuts and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly.
8. Spread Topping: Carefully pour the nut mixture over the prepared base, spreading it evenly.
9. Bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool in the tray for about 30 minutes.
11. Cut into Squares: Once cooled, cut the mixture into triangular squares.
12. Drizzle Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate and drizzle it over the squares for an extra touch of sweetness.
