Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pouch of betty crocker sugar cookie mix
1/4 c firmly packed brown sugar
1 1/2 stick unsalted, cold butter, cut into pieces
2 c salted cocktail peanuts
1 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 jar(s) caramel ice cream topping
1/2 tsp coarse sea salt

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 15x10-inch pan with sides with cooking spray. Reserve 3 tablespoons cookie mix. 2 Place remaining cookie mix in large bowl. Stir in brown sugar. Using pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Press mixture in bottom of pan. Bake 18 minutes. 3 Immediately sprinkle cookie crust with peanuts and chocolate chips. In small microwavable bowl, microwave caramel topping on High about 30 seconds or until of drizzling consistency. Add reserved cookie mix; blend well. Drizzle evenly over peanuts and chocolate chips. Sprinkle evenly with salt. 4 Bake an additional 12 to 14 minutes or until caramel is bubbly. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Refrigerate 15 minutes to set chocolate. For bars, cut into 8 rows by 6 rows. Store covered at room temperature.

Tips:

  • To make the peanut brittle, you will need a heavy-bottomed saucepan and a candy thermometer. Be careful when working with hot sugar, as it can cause severe burns.
  • When making the peanut butter mixture, be sure to use creamy peanut butter for a smooth and creamy filling. You can also use crunchy peanut butter if you prefer a more textured filling.
  • The bars are best when chilled, so be sure to refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.
  • If you don't have any corn syrup on hand, you can substitute it with an equal amount of honey or maple syrup. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly, as these sweeteners may take longer to caramelize.
  • To make the bars extra special, you can top them with a drizzle of melted chocolate or caramel sauce.

Conclusion:

These salty peanut brittle bars are the perfect combination of sweet, salty, and crunchy. They're easy to make and always a hit with a crowd. They're also a great way to use up any leftover peanut brittle you may have.
