In these crunchy, salty-sweet no-bake bars, a touch of molasses enhances the natural sweetness of cashews, oats, and cinnamon and lends a rich taste to the crisp caramel base.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup (about 5 ounces) salted cashews
1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 cup packed dark-brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 tablespoon molasses
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

Steps:

  • Line a 4 1/2-by-9-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving a 1-inch overhang on each long side. Toast oats and cashews in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring often, until aromatic and just starting to turn golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Add butter, sugar, cinnamon, corn syrup, molasses, and salt in the skillet, and cook over medium heat, stirring, until butter melts and mixture bubbles, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour hot mixture over oats and cashews, and stir to combine.
  • Transfer mixture to loaf pan. Using a spatula, press mixture into an even layer. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes. Remove chilled mixture from pan using plastic, discard plastic, and cut into 1-inch thick bars.

I'm allergic to cashews, so I used chopped peanuts instead. The bars turned out great!

These bars are a great make-ahead dessert. I made them the day before my party and they were perfect.

I had some trouble getting the chocolate ganache to set properly, but the bars still tasted great.

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good.

I'm not a huge fan of cashew brittle, but I really enjoyed these bars. The chocolate ganache balances out the sweetness of the brittle perfectly.

Just made these and they are absolutely delicious! The cashew brittle is so addictive and the chocolate ganache is the perfect complement. I will definitely be making these again.
