These squares were a winning recipe entry from Country Magazine, February/March 1997. **Note: 3/23/07-after Kittencal's review I revised a couple of the ingredients per her wonderful suggestions. :-)
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup finely chopped walnuts
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup butter
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine flour, walnuts, brown sugar and salt; cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Set half aside; press remaining crumb mixture onto the bottom of a greased 13 X 9-inch baking pan.
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-12 minutes, or until lightly browned.
4. In a mixing bowl, beat filling ingredients until smooth; pour over crust.
5. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
7. Cool completely.
8. Store in the refrigerator.
9. **Cook time does not include cooling time.
