CARAMEL-CASHEW BARS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 13x9x2 inch baking pan with foil - be sure to extend the foil a little over the edges. Spray foil with non-stick cooking spray. 2. In a large bowl, combine cookie crumbs, butter, and sugar. Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan creating an even layer of crust. Bake crust in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until it starts to lightly brown around the edges. Remove pan to cooling rack. 3. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt caramels and cream until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and cashews. Sprinkle the marshmallows evenly over prepared crust. Spread the caramel-cashew mixture over the marshmallows as evenly as possible. 4. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the caramel is set. Remove to wire rack and cool completely. 5. Once bars are cool, use the foil overhang to remove the bars from the pan and cut into squares.
