Caramel Nut Bars

Line a 9x13 pan with foil so that it comes up and over all the sides. This will help remove the bars from the pan after they have cooled.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Crust:
Put the Cheatin' Wheat Pie Crust Mix, powdered sugar and the 6 oz of cold butter into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is crumbly and there are no visible butter pieces. Add 3 oz of cold water and pulse until the dough comes together to form a ball. Add more water 1 T at a time if the mixture looks too dry and will not come together.

Press the dough into the prepared pan so that it covers the bottom and goes about halfway up the sides. Prick with a fork all over to create steam holes and chill dough. I put mine in the freezer for about 15 minutes. Bake 375 for 20-30 minutes until dry, set and lightly golden. Let cool.

Filling:
Combine the honey, brown and white sugars and the 8 oz of butter in a medium saucepan. Put over low heat until all the butter is melted. Turn the heat to medium-high. Do not stir but allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir in the cream, vanilla, salt and nuts. Pour this mixture into the pre-baked shell and bake until the topping is amber colored and bubbly all over, 25-35 minutes. Cool well or chill before removing from pan and cutting into small pieces.
