I knew these nutty bars were a success when I took them on our annual family vacation. My husband couldn't stop eating them...and my sister-in-law, who is a great cook, asked for the recipe. It makes a big batch, which is good, because they go quickly! Lori Berg Wentzville, Missouri Ingredients:
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter, softened |
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar |
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1-3/4 teaspoons salt |
topping: |
1 package (10 to 11 ounces) butterscotch chips |
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons light corn syrup |
3 tablespoons butter |
2 teaspoons water |
2-1/2 cups salted cashew halves |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Combine flour and salt; add to creamed mixture just until combined.
2. Press into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
3. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the butterscotch chips, corn syrup, butter and water. Cook and stir over medium heat until smooth.
4. Spread over crust. Sprinkle with cashews; press down lightly. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until topping is bubbly and lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Yield: 3-1/2 dozen.
