How To Make salted nut bars

Step 1

Mix the crust ingredients together until crumbly and pat into 9x13 pan. Bake 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees, until brown. Sprinkle marshmallows on the hot crust and return to the oven until marshmallows are puffy, check in 2 minutes and watch carefully. Remove from oven and place on cooling rack.

Step 2

Melt the chocolate+ butterscotch chips with the 1/2 cup butter and syrup over medium heat. Cook until everything is well blended and pour over the marshmallows.
Step 3

Sprinkle salted nuts on top. Let cool. If you are using caramel drizzle it on and let cool.
