To-Die-For Nut Bars

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: 35 mins
• Serves: 36

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1⁄2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1  cup brown sugar, packed
• 1  teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1  cup butter, cold
• 2  cups  mixed nuts, roasted & salted
• 1  cup  milk chocolate chips
• 1 (12 ounce) jar  caramel ice cream topping
• 3  tablespoons all-purpose flour

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine flours, brown sugar, baking soda and salt.
2. Cut in butter until mixture resembles course crumbs. Press into a greased 15x10x1-inch baking pan.
3. Bake at 350 degrees 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
4. Quickly spread nuts and chocolate chips over crust (it helps to have them combined and just sprinkle the mixture on top).
5. Combine caramel topping with 3 tablespoons flour. Drizzle over nuts and chocolate chips.
6. Bake 12-15 minutes longer or until golden and bubbly.
7. Cool and cut into squares.
