Sea Salt Caramel Bars

These are basically a blondie variation. A very, very tasty blondie variation! Who doesn’t like sea salt and caramel together? Salted caramel is, in my opinion, one of humankind’s greatest inventions and should be celebrated whenever and as much as possible. And the caramel here is very very light. Just a hint, and it’s perfect!

Ingredients

2/3 cup butter
2 cups dark brown sugar
2 eggs, brought to room temperature
1 T + 1 t vanilla
2 cups flour
2 t baking powder
½ cup chocolate chips*
½ cup butterscotch chips
½ cup Heath Bar bits
¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips **

I used Nestle’ Filled Sea Salt Caramel Baking Truffles here, but they’re tough to find. If you don’t have them feel free to use regular semisweet or milk chocolate chips.
These are in addition to the chocolate chips above. If you use all semisweet chips then just put in ¾ of a cup

Directions

Butter and flour or spray a 13” x 9” baking tray and set it aside.

Melt your butter in a large bowl, then add the brown sugar, eggs and vanilla and mix until well combined. Add in your flour and baking powder and mix again until well combined.

Pour in your chips and bits (chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and Heath Bar bits) and stir (don’t mix) until they are well distributed throughout the batter.

Pour your batter into your prepared baking tray and sprinkle the top with sea salt. I used flaky sea salt but you can use chunky as well. This isn’t really a “measurement” thing – just sprinkle what you think is right but don’t go overboard.
