             1   cup butter
             2   Tablespoons butter, softened
           3/4   cup brown Sugar
             2   tablespoons brown Sugar
         2 1/2   cups flour
         1 3/4   teaspoons salt
              
             1   package Butterscotch Chips, 10 or 11 oz
           1/2   cup light Corn Syrup
             2   tablespoons light Corn Syrup
             3   tablespoons butter
             2   teaspoons water
         2 1/2   cups salted cashew halves

     In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar.  Combine flour and salt; add to creamed mixture just until combined.  Press in a greased 15-in x 10-in x 1-in baking pan (jelly roll pan).  
     Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.

     Meanwhile combine butterscotch chips, corn syrup, butter and water in a saucepan.  Cook and stir over medium heat until chips and butter are melted.  Spread over crust.  Sprinkle with cashews; press down lightly. 
     Bake for 11-13 minutes or until topping is bubbly and lightly browned. 
     Cool on a wire rack.  Cut into bars.  Yields 3 1/2 dozen.
