How to Make Mixed Nut Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup packed brown sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- While the crust bakes, evenly spread 2 cups of mixed nuts (your choice!) over the partially baked crust.
- In a medium saucepan, combine ¾ cup packed brown sugar, ¼ cup light corn syrup, ¼ cup unsalted butter, and 2 tablespoons water.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and the sugar dissolves. Continue to cook and stir for 2-3 minutes, until the syrup thickens slightly.
- Carefully pour the hot caramel syrup evenly over the nuts.
- Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the bars are set.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
