Enjoy Another of Susan's Specialties -- Mixed Nut Bars

My daughter just called and asked me to send my recipe for Mixed Nut Bars to her. Her husband and his two brothers are going off to eastern Washington on a camping/bonding adventure and she wanted to send a treat that would travel well.  I often keep these ingredients on hand. The bars go together quickly, are a popular dessert or "cookie", and can be a lifesaver when you volunteer to bring a snack.

1 1/2 C. flour
1/2 C. butter
3/4 C. packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt

Cut dry ingredients into butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pat into 9"x13" pan and bake 10 minutes at 350*.

Cover crust with 12 oz can of mixed nuts (I cut the Brazil nuts into smaller pieces) and a syrup made of:
1/2 C. white Karo syrup
2 Tbsp melted butter
6 oz melted butterscotch chips

Bake additional 10 minutes.

NOTE:  These are dangerously addictive.
