I guess it says something that I'd already made three cookie/bar recipes from the Modern Baker Challenge by December 2nd, only two days into our first cookie month! There's just something about a good cookie recipe: quick and easy to whip up, fun to share, loved by everyone.
These caramel crumb bars were no exception, although this recipe does have a few more steps than your typical cookie or brownie recipe. Make a dough (softened butter, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and flour), press it into a pan, and let it chill. Make the filling (butter, corn syrup, dark brown sugar, and sweetened condensed milk), and let it cool.
Then assemble: spread the filling over the dough, sprinkle with the crumb topping (just extra dough with a little bit of extra flour added until it makes a crumble) and bake. Being the confirmed chocoholic that I am, I prefer the brownie recipes, but these were a big hit with the family and my students.
I LOVED these! In fact, I'm thinking of making them again soon.
ReplyDeleteWow, those look really good. And, as always, anything on that plate looks like a party! Nice job.
ReplyDeleteIt's almost dangerous how easy these sound to make! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThose would go wonderful with my hot tea I just finished. They look awesome on that plate. I'll have to try these soon. Hubby and I are working on finishing off a half batch of the cocoa nib brownies right now. They are sooooo good!
