These cream cheese bars have a sweet, butterscotch graham cracker crust.


RECIPE INGREDIENTS


1 2/3 cups (11-oz. pkg.) Nestlé Toll House Butterscotch Flavored Morsels

6 tablespoons butter or margarine

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

2 cups chopped walnuts

2 pkg. (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

4 large eggs

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons lemon juice



RECIPE METHOD


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
