Salted Nut Bars

From Keree A.

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cups salted mixed nuts or peanuts
1 cup butterscotch-flavored chips
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons butter or margarine

1. Heat oven to 350 F. In medium bowl mix flour, brown sugar and salt. Cut in 1/2 cup butter using pastry blender (or puling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until evenly mixed.
2. In bottom of ungreased 13x9-inch pan, press dough evenly. Bake 15 minutes; cool slightly.
3. Cut up any large nuts. Sprinkle nuts evenly over crust. In 1-quart saucepan heat remaining ingredients over low heat, stirring occasionally, just until chips are melted. Drizzle butterscotch mixture evenly over nuts. Bake 5 minutes. For bars cut into 8 rows by 4 rows while warm for easiest cutting.
