Penuche Cake Bars

Submitted by kaithun1

"For those who love rich, butterscotch, caramel, and brown sugar flavored candies, it is likely an all-time favorite. The nuts used are generally pecans, but walnuts and other nutmeats can also be used as desired. Pecans lend a sweet, full flavor and walnuts give the candy almost bittersweet undertones."
