One pan of these bars goes a long way. They get a nice flavor from butterscotch chips. —Bobbi Brown, Waupaca, Wisconsin

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons cold butter, divided
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 can (11-1/2 ounces) mixed nuts
