Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In a medium bowl sift together the flour and powdered sugar. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.

1

While still in the bowl, knead the dough until smooth, about 10 times. Pat the dough evenly into your prepared baking pan and prick with a fork 25-30 times.

2

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until light brown in color. Cool for at least 30 minutes on a wire rack.

3

Combine the caramels and heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir constantly until the caramels are completely melted. Stir in cashews.

4

Top the shortbread with the marshmallows and pour the caramel over the top. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until bubbly around the edges.
