Caramel Walnut Bars

Base:
1 package yellow cake mix (with pudding in mix)
1 egg
1/3 cup margarine (softened)

Filling:
14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup Heath bits (chips)
1 egg
1 cup chopped walnuts (use pecans if desired)

Mix base ingredients until crumbly. Press into greased 13 x 9 pan. Mix filling ingredients by hand until well blended. Pour over base. Bake at 350 for 25 a 30 minutes (I baked for 30 minutes) or until golden brown. Center may appear loose. It will set upon cooling. Cool completely before cutting. Sprinkle top with confectionary sugar for a decorative touch. Can be served alone, with whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream.

Note: might be fun to mix a few chocolate chips in with the Heath bits.
