Filling
Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, salt, and all-purpose flour. Gradually incorporate the cold butter, mixing until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This will create a crumbly dough that will serve as the base for your nut bars.
Step 2
Line a rectangular baking pan with parchment paper. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the pan to form an even layer. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 12 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden.
Step 3
In a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, combine the condensed milk and white chocolate. Heat gently until melted and smooth, stirring well to combine. Ensure that the mixture is well-blended for a creamy layer.
Step 4
Add the mixed nuts and dried fruits directly into the melted white chocolate mixture; do not chop them too finely. Pour this delightful filling over the cooled baked base, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Allow it to cool and set in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours.
Step 5
Once set, remove the nut bars from the pan and cut them into squares or rectangles as desired. Enjoy the delicious nut bars as a snack or dessert. You can also drizzle some chocolate on top for an extra treat if you wish!

A rectangular baking tray works best for even cooking; line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
For melting chocolate, both methods work well! If using the microwave, do it in short bursts and stir in between to avoid scorching.
A sharp knife will help you cut the bars into perfect squares once they have set.
Variations
Vegan Variation: To make this recipe vegan, use plant-based butter instead of regular butter and substitute the white chocolate with vegan chocolate chips. This way, you can enjoy all the delicious flavors without any animal products! 🌱
