Time 2h15m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
2 eggs (such as Eggland's Best®)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 (13.4 ounce) cans dulce de leche
2 (6 ounce) packages white baking chocolate, chopped
⅓ cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon light corn syrup

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 1-inch overhang over each side.
Combine brown sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract.
Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Beat flour mixture gradually into the creamed butter mixture until batter is combined. Spread batter in the bottom of the lined baking pan.
Mix white sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon sugar over the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are light brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
Spread dulce de leche over cooled crust.
Combine white chocolate, heavy cream, and light corn syrup in a small saucepan. Cook and stir over low heat until smooth, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Spread white chocolate mixture over dulce de leche. Sprinkle remaining cinnamon sugar on top. Cover baking pan and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients. Opt for real butter, pure vanilla extract, and creamy caramel sauce.
Make sure the butter and cream cheese are softened to room temperature before creaming them together. This will help to ensure a smooth and creamy batter.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough bars.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the bars from spreading too much in the oven.
Bake the bars until they are just set in the center. Overbaking can result in dry bars.
Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.

Conclusion:

These Caramel Snickerdoodle Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are packed with flavor and have a gooey caramel center that is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give these bars a try.
