Saw these in a magazine and started salivating! Only thing I would change is go from semi-sweet to milk chocolate, as that is my preference. Also, you could use regular salted butter if that's all you have and then skip the extra salt. Cashews will be plenty salty too. Recipe & photo: tasteofhome.com 10-17-14

How To Make salted cashew & caramel chews

Step 1

In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in eggs, caramel topping and vanilla.

Drop dough by rounded Tbsp. 2-inches apart onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake in a preheated 350º oven for 10-12 minutes or until edges are firm. Cool on pans 5 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
