Buttery Butterscotch Cashew Bars

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

  2. 2

    Combine the flour and salt, then add to the creamed mixture, mixing just until combined. Press the dough into a greased 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.

  3. 3

    In a small saucepan, combine the butterscotch chips, corn syrup, 3 tablespoons of butter, and 2 teaspoons of water. Cook and stir over medium heat until smooth and melted.

  4. 4

    Spread the warm butterscotch mixture over the baked crust. Sprinkle with the salted cashew halves and press down lightly. Bake for an additional 11-13 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and lightly browned. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
