You’ll Bolt For A Bite Of These Butter Bars

If you love salted caramel coffee (Starbucks, anyone?), you are absolutely, positively going to love these.  They will bring you all the happy feelings that the holidays bring.  Your family will love you for making these so try them tonight!

Try these when you go shopping and I bet you will be thinking of me (and thanking me in your head!) throughout your shopping trip.

 

Ingredients

2 cups (4 sticks) Land O’ Lakes unsalted butter, softened

1 cup Domino white sugar

1 & ½ cups Domino powdered sugar

1 Tbsp McCormick vanilla extract

4 cups Gold Medal all-purpose flour, plus 2 Tbsp

1 (11.5 oz) jar salted caramel sauce (I like Smuckers Brand Simple Delights, but Trader Joe’s Fleur de Sel is great, too!)

Sea salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 13×9″ baking pan with foil, extending the sides of the foil over the edges of the pan. Spray the foil liberally with cooking spray and set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the Land O’ Lakes butter and Domino sugar until creamy and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the Domino powdered sugar and McCormick vanilla. Lastly, beat in the Gold Medal four (4) cups of flour until a soft dough has formed. Press HALF of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Refrigerate the remaining dough.

Bake the crust for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven but keep the oven on. In a small bowl, combine the caramel sauce and remaining 2 Tbsp flour until blended. Pour the caramel mixture evenly into the crust, then crumble the remaining dough on top to cover the caramel layer. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt, and remember that there’s salt in the caramel sauce, too ?

Return to the oven and continue baking for an additional 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and the caramel is bubbly. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
