Preheat oven to 160C°. Prepare slice tin by lining it with baking paper.
Shortbread Base
Using a stand or hand mixer beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Whisk flours together and then add into the butter and sugar mix. Beat on low until just combined.
Press mixture into slice tin and smooth the surface with a spoon.
Bake for 30 minutes until firm in centre and light golden around edges. Cool in the pan.
Caramel
Put cream and caramels into a medium saucepan. Stir constantly over low heat until caramels are melted and sauce is smooth. Can take between 5 and 10 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes
To finish the slice
Sprinkle marshmallows and cashews over shortbread base.
Pour caramel over the cashews and marshmallows. Allow to set completely in the pan in the refrigerator before cutting
Notes
You can substitute the cashew nuts for other nuts eg. macadamia nuts or almonds.
