1 1/2 cups (375ml) all purpose flour
3/4 cup (175ml) packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp (2ml)
salt 1/2 cup (125ml) plus 1 tablespoon (15ml) butter or margarine, chilled, divided

In medium mixing bowl, combine flour,sugar and salt.

Using pastry blender, cut in 1/2 cup (125mL) butter until mixture resembles course crumbs. Press mixture evenly into ungreased 11 x 7 inch (2L) baking pan to form base. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until edges are light golden brown.

In a 2-quart (2L) saucepan, combine remaining 1 tablespoon (15mL) butter, the chips and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat until chips are melted, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in nuts. Spread mixture evenly over base. Bake for additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until edges are bubbly. Cool completely before cutting.

30 bars Enjoy. They are really only edible at room temperature or else they are too hard to bite into.
