I said super easy to make. Yes, easy because you will only need to combine the dry ingredients then the wet ingredients, stir them together then stir-in the nuts and voila they are ready to be baked!
​For the nuts, I suggest to use cashew nuts but if not available, you can use peanuts as well.

Procedure:

• Preheat oven to 325 F and line a 13 x 9 pan with parchment paper lightly greased with butter.
• In  large mixing bowl, prepare the dry ingredients by sifting together flour, powdered milk, sugar, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine the wet ingredients starting from melted butter, vanilla, eggs and condensed milk. Whisk until well combined.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until fully incorporated. Do not over mix.  Stir-in half of the nuts.
• Transfer the batter into the prepared pan.  Use a wet spatula to spread the batter evenly.  (Wet spatula avoids sticking into the batter).
• Top with the rest of the nuts. I use cashew nuts on this recipe.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Sides of the caramel will start to turn golden brown in color. Do not over bake.  (Always check before the set time as oven temperature varies.) Remove from oven and cool completely before slicing.
• Cut into bars and enjoy.
