CHOCOLATE BUTTERSCOTCH CARAMEL BARS



Chocolate Butterscotch Caramel Bars image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 4h5m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups regular or quick oats
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4 sticks (14 tablespoons) cold salted butter, cut into pieces
Two 13.5-ounce cans dulce de leche (I used Nestle La Lechera)
About 1 cup Spanish peanuts
About 1 cup butterscotch chips
About 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick spray.
  • Mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the mixture into the prepared pan and pat lightly to pack it slightly.
  • Bake until light golden brown on top and done in the middle, watching to make sure it doesn't burn, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 minutes.
  • Spoon the dulce de leche into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave to just slightly soften it, about 45 seconds. Scoop it on top of the oatmeal base and use an offset spatula to spread it out to the edges and into an even layer. Sprinkle on a layer of peanuts so that they completely cover the caramel and use your hands to gently press them into the caramel. Sprinkle on the butterscotch chips and mini chocolate chips in generous layers.
  • Note: The warmth of the cookie base and caramel should slightly soften the butterscotch and chocolate chips. When that happens, use your hands to very gently press the chips just enough to anchor them together (but not enough to misshape them). If the pan isn't warm enough, pop it into the oven for 30 seconds or so and gently press the chips to anchor them together.
  • Chill the bars for 2 to 3 hours to make them easy to slice. Remove them from the pan, place on a cutting board and use a long serrated knife to cut into small squares (they're rich!). Serve cold or at room temperature.
