Ingredients
- 2 cups butter softened
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons vanilla
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 4 cups flour
- 30 caramels unwrapped
- 3 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup Finely chopped pecans
- coarse sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325. In a large bowl cream together butter, powdered sugar, and sugar. Add vanilla and almond and mix until smooth. Add flour and mix until dough comes together.
- Press half of the dough into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes. Chill remaining dough.
- While crust is baking, prepare caramel layer. Combine caramels and milk in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir and return to microwave for 20 seconds at a time until caramel is smooth. Stir in vanilla and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Pour caramel over baked crust. Sprinkle chopped pecans over caramel (I reserved a tablespoon to sprinkle on top). Drop teaspoons of remaining dough on top of caramel layer until dough is used up. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Bake 30-35 minutes until crust is lightly browned.
- Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars (you can put them in the fridge to speed put he process!) Store in airtight container up to one week.
Notes
- Store in airtight container at room temperature.
