32 bars: 56 mg. sodium per bar

1 (11 oz) package butterscotch flavored morsels
1/3 cup unsalted margarine (do not use butter)
2 cups low sodium graham cracker crumbs
1 cup finely chopped no salt added almonds or walnuts
1 (8 oz) package low sodium cream cheese
1 (14 oz) can Eagle-brand condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg

2. Crush enough low sodium graham crackers with a rolling pin to make 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs.
3. Line a 13 X 9 X 2 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
4. Have all other ingredients on hand.

Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (325 degrees for glass pan).

2. In a medium size saucepan, melt butterscotch morsels and margarine. Stir in crumbs and nuts. Press 1/2 of the mixture on the bottom of the baking pan.

3. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Beat in milk, vanilla and egg. Mix well. Pour mixture into the pan; then tilt the pan to spread the mixture evenly. Top with remaining crumb mixture.
