Try these irresistible cashew caramel bars for a unique baked dessert.
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 1/4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped salted cashews
  • 1 bag (14 oz) caramels, unwrapped
  • 1/4 cup milk
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (or 325°F for a dark or nonstick pan) and generously spray a 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray.
  • In a spacious bowl, whisk together shortening, butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until smooth. Mix in eggs and vanilla extract. Gradually add flour, cinnamon, and baking soda, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed, until fully incorporated. Gently fold in 1 cup of cashews. Transfer dough into the pan and spread evenly.
  • Bake until beautifully golden brown, around 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Heat caramels and milk in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, until caramels are melted. Keep warm.
  • Drizzle the caramel over the slightly cooled bars, then sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cashews on top. Allow to cool completely for about 30 minutes. Cut into 8 rows by 6 rows and store covered in the refrigerator.
