"These are demanded of me at all family events. I'm glad they're so easy! People who claim to not like nuts have told me that these were the best things they've ever eaten!"

 

• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 36

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour

3. Bake at 350 degrees 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

7. Cool and cut into squares.

I made these to take to thanksgiving dinner as something different...they went over really well. Makes a huge pan! Loved the simplicity of the crust, and everyone loved the flavour of it. A definite crowd pleaser.

Wow! These were amazing! I bake so much and make everything from "scratch", so I was a little skeptical about the jar of caramel sauce. But you know what? I hate making caramel...sometimes it comes out great, but a lot of times it flops. And who wants to fool around with a candy thermometer? This recipe was so easy and the results are really "To-Die-For". I used Reynolds non-stick foil on the bottom of the pan for easy cleanup. These would be great for a pot-luck or baby shower.

Thanks much for this great bar recipe! The triple combination of the roasted nuts, the chocolate & the caramel brought RAVES as well as requests for copies of the recipe! Definitely a keeper & a great addition to my file of bar recipes!
