Our family loves nuts, especially when they are baked into ooey-gooey bars, but we don’t agree about which nuts taste the best. Baking up a batch of these half-cashew, half-pecan bars gives everyone a taste of their favorites, and we can substitute other chopped nuts too. Honey adds extra richness and a pinch of cinnamon adds warmth that pairs well with the nuts.

We cut these satisfyingly rich bars small for enjoying with mid-morning coffee or as after-school snacks, and they are also a big hit when entertaining, giving guests a choice of two different flavor options. No one can resist grabbing a bite of these gooey, salty, nutty bars! Be ready to share the recipe.
