Butterscotch Mixed Nut Bars
A chewy, buttery base cradling a symphony of crunchy nuts – almonds, pecans, pistachios, Cashews, and hazelnuts all generously mixed with golden butterscotch morsels.
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 13x9-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.
