(Source: Better Homes and Gardens)

2 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 c. coarsely chopped walnuts
1 (3 oz.) jar macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped (2/3 c.)
1 (6 oz.) pkg. white baking bars, coarsely chopped (1 c.)
1 c. milk chocolate pieces
3/4 c. butter
1/2 c. packed brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 13x9x2-inch baking pan with foil, leaving about 1" of foil extending over the ends of pan; set aside.

In a medium mixing bowl beat flour, 1/2 c. brown sugar, and 1/2 c. butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until mixture resembles fine crumbs.

Press mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake @ 350 degrees about 15 minutes or until light brown. Remove from oven. Sprinkle nuts, baking bars, and milk chocolate pieces over hot crust.

In a small saucepan cook and stir 3/4 c. butter and 1/2 c. brown sugar over medium heat until bubbly; cook and stir for 1 minute more.

Pour sugar mixture evenly over bars. Bake @ 350 degrees about 15 minutes more or until just bubbly around edges. Cool in pan on a wire rack.

Remove bars from pan, using the overlapping foil to lift bars. Place on cutting board; cut into bars. Makes 36 bars.
