Caramel Nut Bars

"These Caramel Nut Bars feature a combination of mixed nuts and caramel on top of a buttery shortbread crust. Good luck eating just one! If I was in charge of inventing a new candy bar, these Caramel Nut Bars would be the winner. They’re absolutely delicious! Think buttery shortbread cookie topped with caramel and 4…yes, 4…types of chopped nuts. These bars are nutty, caramel-y…and addicting! The nuts get chopped and mixed with an easy caramel sauce, and that mixture gets poured onto a shortbread cookie base. The base is buttery and crumbly in a classic shortbread way. I’m pretty sure I could eat the base by itself! But then I would be left with a pot of caramel-coated nuts. The combination of shortbread cookie crust with the caramel nuts on top is fantastic. Truly fantastic. "
