BUTTERSCOTCH CASHEW BARS
Preparation time: 15 min Baking time: 20 min Yield: 36 bars
Crust Ingredients:
| 1 1/2 | cups all-purpose flour | |
| 3/4 | cup firmly packed brown sugar | |
| 1/2 | cup Land O' Lakes Butter, softened | |
| 1/4 | teaspoon salt |
Topping Ingredients:
| 1/4 | cup light corn syrup | |
| 1 | cup butterscotch-flavored baking chips | |
| 2 | tablespoons Land O' Lakes Butter | |
| 1 | tablespoon water | |
| 1/4 | teaspoon salt | |
| 1 1/2 | cups cashew halves and pieces |
Heat oven to 350° F. Combine all crust ingredients in large bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press crumb mixture into greased 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, place all topping ingredients except cashews in 2-quart saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until chips are melted and mixture is smooth (4 to 7 minutes). Stir in cashews until well coated.
Spread cashew mixture over hot, partially baked crust. Continue baking for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely. Cut into bars.
