How to Make Butterscotch And Cashew Bars

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the butterscotch chips, butter, and brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the chopped cashews.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This will take about 1 hour.
