Mixed Nut Bars
Here's a tasty treat that is a wonderful time-saver. No matter where I take these bars, no one can eat just one and I always get asked for the recipe. They look great piled high on a pretty platter and taste even better.—Bobbi Brown, Waupaca, Wisconsin42 ServingsPrep: 10 min. Bake: 20 min. + cooling
