These Caramel Nut Bars are made with an easy shortbread base and loaded with salted peanuts and cashews, topped with marshmallows and caramel for the perfect sweet and salty treat!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9x13" pan with tin foil or parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, stir together flour and sugar. Cut butter into cubes and add to flour, mixing with a pastry cutter, mixer, or your hands until crumbly -- if it holds together when you squeeze it, it's ready.
Press into prepared pan and bake for 10-12 minutes, until dry looking but not browned.
Filling:
Sprinkle peanuts, cashews and marshmallows over the crust after it has baked.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together caramels and cream until melted and smooth.
Pour over nuts and marshmallows on crust, drizzling in a thin line to get as much coverage as possible.
Bake for 6-8 minutes, until caramel is just bubbling at the edges.
