Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 4h20m

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) unsalted butter, cubed, at room temperature, plus more for the baking sheet
3 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
6 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Two 10.8-ounce bags chewy caramels, unwrapped
4 teaspoons heavy cream
1 cup salted roasted peanuts
Flaky salt

Steps:

  • Butter a 9 1/2-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet or quarter sheet pan and line it with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the 2 long sides. Then butter the parchment.
  • Whisk the flour, cornstarch, kosher salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.
  • Beat the butter and sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat to combine, scraping down the sides as needed. Slowly add the flour mixture and beat on low until the dough is just combined; do not overwork.
  • Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out as evenly as possible with a silicone spatula. Cover with plastic wrap, then use your hands to press and flatten the dough into a smooth even layer. Pull back the plastic wrap and use a fork to prick the dough all over. Cover again and refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.
  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
  • Uncover the dough and bake, rotating the baking sheet from front to back halfway through, until golden, 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Combine the caramels and cream in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour the mixture over the shortbread and spread it evenly. Immediately sprinkle with the peanuts and a large pinch of flaky salt. Gently push down on the topping to make sure it sticks to the caramel. Let cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Use the parchment overhang to gently lift the shortbread and slide it onto a cutting board. Remove the parchment and cut into 24 squares. Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

FUDGSICLE BARS WITH CARAMEL AND SPANISH PEANUTS



Fudgsicle Bars with Caramel and Spanish Peanuts image

This is a childhood favorite reinvented for grown-up tastes. You've got the texture of a Fudgsicle but with the flavor of rich dark chocolate, salty peanuts, and sweet caramel, all combined in a dessert pretty enough to make people think it came out of a professional kitchen. It's important that the Fudgsicle bars soften at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving, otherwise they'll be too hard to cut into. The flavor comes forward when the dessert warms a little. Don't forgo the ice-water bath. You need to cool the custard quickly to keep it from overcooking.

Provided by Emily Luchetti

Yield Makes 9 bars

Number Of Ingredients 10

9- by 9-inch baking pan
Heat-proof rubber spatula
6 large egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Large pinch kosher salt
4 cups heavy cream
4 ounces dark chocolate (58 to 62 percent cacao), chopped or broken into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
1/2 cup Spanish peanuts
1 1/2 cups Caramel Sauce , or good-quality store-bought caramel sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Line the baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides. Set aside. Fill a large bowl half full of ice and cover the ice with water. Set aside.
  • 2. In a medium bowl that will fit into the large bowl of ice water, whisk the yolks with the sugar and salt until well blended.
  • 3. In a large saucepan, warm the cream over medium heat until it starts to bubble around the edges. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate and coffee until smooth. Slowly pour the chocolate cream into the bowl with the egg yolks. Return the chocolate cream to the saucepan (reserving the bowl) and cook over medium-low heat, stirring continually with the heat-proof rubber spatula, until the chocolate custard thickens slightly and coats and clings to the spatula when you lift it up out of the pot, about 5 minutes.
  • 4. Pour the custard back into the reserved bowl. Put the bowl in the ice bath. Stirring occasionally, let the custard cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
  • 5. Pour the custard into the foil-lined baking pan. Freeze until firm, 3 to 4 hours.
  • 6. Put the peanuts in a colander and rub them with a clean kitchen towel to remove some of the skins. (If you don't have a colander, just rub them in the towel.) Don't worry about getting all the skins - you just want to remove the loose pieces. Chop the peanuts into 1/4-inch or smaller pieces.
  • 7. To serve, holding the foil, lift the Fudgsicles out of the pan. Peel back the foil. Cut the firm fudge into 3-inch squares. Place a piece on each plate. Let sit for 5 minutes to soften. Top with some caramel sauce and peanuts.

CARAMEL PEANUT CLUSTERS



Caramel Peanut Clusters image

Try your hand at this Caramel Peanut Clusters recipe this year. You don't need to have a diploma from candy-making school to make these luscious Caramel Peanut Clusters. They're really (really) easy to make.

Provided by My Food and Family

Categories     Home

Time 2h

Yield 30 candy clusters

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 bag (11 oz.) KRAFT Caramel Bits
2 tsp. water
1 jar (16 oz.) PLANTERS Dry Roasted Peanuts
3 pkg. (4 oz. each) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, broken into squares
1 Tbsp. butter

Steps:

  • Pour Caramel Bits into a microwave-safe bowl, with 2 teaspoons of water and microwave in 30 minute increments, stirring in between each heating. It took 1 ½ minutes to melt the caramels with only a few left unmelted. Stirring the warm, creamy caramel allowed the last chunks to completely melt and be incorporated.
  • Pour the jar of peanuts into the caramel and stir to completely coat all peanuts.
  • Drop by spoonful onto a buttered or greased sheet of wax paper, or a silicone baking mat. Allow the caramel clusters to cool and set up, about 10 minutes.
  • While the clusters cool, prepare the dipping chocolate. In a microwave-safe bowl add the butter and chocolate. Breaking the chocolate into small pieces along the perforations to helps it melt more quickly.
  • Again, 30 second increments in the microwave, stirring in between each, will help the chocolate melt quickly and prevent burning or scorching. After 1 ½ minutes, you may still have a few soft chunks of chocolate in the mixture, but stirring will allow them to melt and be combined with the melted chocolate dip.
  • After the chocolate is melted, dip each cluster into the chocolate and turn it to be sure all sides are covered. Lift the cluster out of the chocolate on the tines of a fork. Gently tap the fork handle against the rim of the bowl, allowing excess chocolate to drip through the tines of the fork, back into the bowl.
  • Place the clusters back onto the prepared surface and leave them to cool and harden 1 to 2 hours.

Tips for Making Fudgsicle Bars with Caramel and Spanish Peanuts:

  • Use a high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Look for a chocolate that has at least 70% cocoa content.
  • Don't overcook the caramel. It should be thick and gooey, but not hard.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the fudgsicles tough.
  • Use a mold that is the right size for your fudgsicle sticks. If the mold is too big, the fudgsicles will be too thin and may not hold their shape.
  • Freeze the fudgsicles for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow them to set properly.

Conclusion:

Fudgsicle bars with caramel and Spanish peanuts are a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for summer. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try!
