Sweet Coffee Biscuit Bars

1Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

2In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Dark Fantasy biscuits, (1 cup) all-purpose flour (1 cup), granulated sugar (½ cup), baking powder (½ teaspoon), and salt (¼ teaspoon). Stir until evenly mixed.

3In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, cooled brewed coffee, and vanilla extract (1 teaspoon) until well combined.

4Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until a sticky dough forms, ensuring the coffee is fully incorporated.

5Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Press it down evenly with the back of a spoon or your hands to form a compact, uniform layer.

6Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

7Remove from oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

8Once cooled, lift the bars out using the parchment paper overhang and cut into squares or bars of desired size.

9Optional: Lightly dust the bars with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
