Very quick and easy to make. My family loved them so I'll make then again. I may drizzle melted chocolate on top to give it another another flavor dimension.

How do you finish them if you don't have a broiler?

I made these bars last night and they were awesome! They're a great combination of sweet and salty and the soft cake base really partners well with the chewy, crunchy cashew topping. Would make again!
