In these crunchy, salty-sweet no-bake bars, a touch of molasses enhances the natural sweetness of cashews, oats, and cinnamon and lends a rich taste to the crisp caramel base.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup (about 5 ounces) salted cashews
1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 cup packed dark-brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 tablespoon molasses
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

Steps:

  • Line a 4 1/2-by-9-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving a 1-inch overhang on each long side. Toast oats and cashews in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring often, until aromatic and just starting to turn golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Add butter, sugar, cinnamon, corn syrup, molasses, and salt in the skillet, and cook over medium heat, stirring, until butter melts and mixture bubbles, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour hot mixture over oats and cashews, and stir to combine.
  • Transfer mixture to loaf pan. Using a spatula, press mixture into an even layer. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes. Remove chilled mixture from pan using plastic, discard plastic, and cut into 1-inch thick bars.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of cashew brittle, but these bars were still pretty good. The chocolate and peanut butter were a great combination.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bars didn't turn out very well. The cashew brittle was too hard and the bars were too crumbly. I think I might have overcooked the cashew brittle.

These bars were easy to make and tasted great! I used dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate and they were still delicious. I would definitely recommend this recipe.
