Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
-
In a food processor, pulse the mixed nuts until they are finely chopped, but not powdered. Set aside.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, salt, and baking powder. Add the softened butter and vanilla extract, then mix until the ingredients are well combined and form a dough.
-
Press two-thirds of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create the crust.
-
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until it starts to lightly brown around the edges.
-
Remove the crust from the oven and sprinkle the chopped mixed nuts evenly over the top.
-
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the nuts, covering the entire surface.
-
Crumble the remaining dough over the caramel and nut layer, creating a crumbly top.
-
Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
-
Allow the bars to cool completely in the dish before cutting into squares or bars to serve.
