Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F (if using dark or nonstick pan, heat oven to 325°F). Spray 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray.

These are easy to make and the texture is very pleasing but I found them lacking flavor. Especially the caramel layer is not caramelly enough for me . I'll try the brown sugar cashew bars next in hopes of more flavor
