This recipe is all about the butter. Yes, that list of ingredients really does include 3 entire cups of butter. Our salted caramel butter bars are not for the faint of heart. They most certainly are not for anyone wishing to eat lower calorie or diet foods. They are, in fact, a perfect choice for holiday indulgence and sharing with friends and family.
The combination of caramel and salt is one that has gained popularity in recent years. I love it since it combines the super rich caramel with that salty flavor you need that cuts the richness just enough. This recipe calls for salted caramel, and I love using a different brand each time to mix it up. Use your favorite, but Coop’s is a great choice.
Ingredients
3 Cups butter
1 ½ Cups sugar
2 Cups powdered sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
5 Cups flour
2 Cups salted caramel
Directions
Preheat your oven to 325ºF.
Using an electric hand mixer, mix softened butter, sugar, half the salted caramel, and powdered sugar for 5 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and flour. Mix until it becomes a soft dough, then pour mixture into a greased baking pan.
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the edges of the dough turn golden brown.
Remove pan from the oven and let it cool for 20 minutes.
Top the bars with the remaining salted caramel.
Let it cool completely, then serve and enjoy.

If you want to add some extra crunch and flavor to these salted caramel butter bars, you can easily sprinkle on some pecans, walnuts, or even peanuts on top. I love the idea of crushing pretzels and adding into the mix as well for even more of that salty sweet flavor I love.
