If you are looking for an ooey gooey treat that is sweet, salty and whips together in a snap, this is the recipe for you. I first tried these last year at a neighbor’s house. She had made them with cashews. They were fabulous, so I got the recipe. Then I proceeded to loose it. Imagine my joy when I found it stuck back behind my stack of cookbooks. I had some mixed nuts that needed to be used up, so I threw them in. I think these would be yummy with just about any type of nuts. After you pour on the topping, it cooks very quickly, so make sure you don’t burn it.
Butterscotch Nut Bars
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter
11oz can nuts of your choice
1 cup butterscotch chips
1/2 cup corn syrup
Mix flour, sugar, salt, and butter and press in bottom of a 9×13″ pan. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Sprinkle nuts over hot crust. Melt chips and corn syrup together and pour over the top. Bake for about 10 more minutes, or till bubbly. Let cool before cutting.
Does the butter need to be melt for the crust?
No, it doesn’t need to be melted, just softened.
