Ingredients

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons cold butter divided
1 cup butterscotch chips
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 can 11-1/2 ounces mixed nuts(I used Planter’s Deluxe Salted Mixed Nuts)*

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar and salt. Cut in 1/2 cup butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into a greased 13×9-in. baking pan. Bake for 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a microwave, melt butterscotch chips and remaining butter in microwave-safe bowl; stir until smooth. Microwave in short bursts. Stir in corn syrup.
Sprinkle nuts over crust; top with butterscotch mixture. Bake until set, about 12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Cool 5-6 hours in the pan. Lift out of pan using long pieces of foil. Gently remove the foil. Cut into bars. Store in an airtight container.
*Note: I chopped most of the almonds and hazelnuts into smaller pieces.
