Butterscotch Peanut Butter

Butterscotch Peanut Butter

1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups salted peanuts

Topping:
1 pkg (10 to 11 oz.) butterscotch chips
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp water

Line a 15 x 10 inch baking pan with aluminum foil. Coat the foil with cooking spray. Set aside. In a small bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Combine the flour and salt. Gradually add to the creamed mixture. Mix well. Press into the prepared baking pan. Bake at 350 F for 6 minutes. Sprinkle with the peanuts. In a large saucepan, combine the topping ingredients. Cook and stir over medium heat until the chips and the butter are melted. Spread over the hot crust. Bake for 12-15 minutes longer or until the topping is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars.
