Thanks for posting this Dams. Think I'll try this one this year. A girl
at work brought me back some butterscotch chips from a trip to the US
earlier this year (so I'd make her some Scotcheroos). I still have a
pack left, and I have some corn syrup in the pantry.

The salted mixed nuts - I take it that's just the typical mix sold for
snacking on - peanuts, cashews, etc.

Rhonda, so good to see you! Yes, the nuts are generally a mixture of
peanuts, cashews, brazil nuts, pecans ...
It's too bad that there are so many ingredients that we take for
granted in the States which aren't available in Australia. I'm glad
that people keep bringing you oddball stuff to experiment with,
though. Enjoy the bars!
