Place white baking chips and whipping cream in small microwavable bowl. Microwave uncovered on Medium-High (70%) 1 minute; stir. Microwave 10 to 15 seconds longer or until mixture can be stirred smooth. Spread over baked layer. Sprinkle with nuts; press gently into topping. Cool completely, about 1 hour. For bars, cut into 8 rows by 4 rows.

Tip: There's a treasure chest of goodness in these sweet and salty nutty bars. You can use salted pecan halves or peanuts in place of the mixed nuts. Keep bars tightly covered at room temperature, or freeze up to three months.
