Butterscotch Salted Nut Bars recipe

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups mixed nuts
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon water
1 cup butterscotch chips

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine first four ingredients and blend well. Press into ungreased 15 x 10-inch jellyroll pan. Bake 10 to 12 minutes.

Sprinkle nuts over partially baked crust.

In a small saucepan, combine corn syrup, butter, water and butterscotch chips and boil 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour cooked mixture over nuts. Bake 12 to 17 minutes until golden brown. Cool. Cut into squares, then into diagonals. These keep beautifully.

NOTE: It does make a difference to buy a better quality of mixed nuts.
