Ingredients

1

Heat oven to 350ºF (325ºF for dark pan). Chop 1 cup of the cashew halves. In large bowl, break up cookie dough. Stir in chopped cashews and oats. In ungreased 13x9-inch pan, press dough evenly to form crust. Bake 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, in 1 1/2-quart saucepan, cook condensed milk and chocolate chips over low heat about 6 minutes, stirring constantly, until chips are melted and smooth. Stir in vanilla.
3

Remove partially baked crust from oven. Spread chocolate mixture evenly over crust. Sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup cashews; press gently into chocolate.

Return to oven; bake 18 to 23 minutes longer or until edges and centre begin to crack. Cool completely on wire rack, about 1 hour. Cut into bars.
