Everyday Dorie: Chocolate-Covered Chai-Tea Bars

I’ve always liked Dorie’s sweet recipes the best, and here we are with our final Cook the Book Fridays sweet treat from Everyday Dorie! Does that mean it’s actually bittersweet? These Chocolate-Covered Chai-Tea Bars have a chai-flavored financier base and a simple melted milk chocolate topping. While I didn’t have any chai in teabags on hand, I do have a chai spice blend and a box of nice Earl Grey, so I made those work to flavor my bars. These are a slim treats, but a little goes a long way, as they are moist and dense with lots of butter and almond flour. I’m sure they’d be just perfect with a cup of chai, but they’re also pretty great with coffee.

For the recipe, see Everyday Dorie by Dorie Greenspan, and head over to Cook the Book Fridays to see all of our bakes this week.

Yours look wonderful. I like how you improvised with the tea and the spices, good move. I was surprised at how thin they were but we thought that was rather nice actually, so I’m guessing I did it okay…it’s hard to tell sometimes in photos. I love how your photo is clear and misty…perfect for this time of year with a cup of tea and a cookie…you know, to go with a good book!
