  1. These were a great sweet and salty treat! I halved the recipe and made in my biscotti pan.
     
  2. Yummy! If you love cashews and caramel flavor, these are the ticket. They're decadent.
     
  3. Had cashews and butterscotch chips on hand that I needed to use, and this was a tasty use for them. Be careful, as the edge pieces got very hard - almost to the hard candy point - don't pull your teeth out! Next time I will cut off and discard the edges.
     
  4. Made these for Xmas 2002. Love cashews and this recipe in the keeper file.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in KCMO, originally from Michigan. I'm an administrative assistant in the Internal Medicine department of a urban hospital. I married my high school sweetheart on Mackinac Island in August '02. Some of my favorite things to do...baking, snow skiing, camping, hiking, reading, and playing cards with my parents on Sunday afternoons. Someday, after we retire or win the lottery, I hope to live on Mackinac Island or in the UP of Michigan, possibly even open a B&B.
