DULCE DE LECHE BARS
A creamy center fills a shortbread-like buttery crust with a crumble-pecan coconut topping. This is a favorite with my family, boyfriend and at my workplace (a bakery!). Best served cool or room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan thoroughly.
- Blend butter and sugar with an electric mixer until combined and creamy. Add egg and vanilla extract; beat until incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat again. Combine flour and salt. Add to the butter mixture and mix until a ball of dough forms.
- Press 2/3 of the dough into the bottom of the baking pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until set and light brown, about 20 minutes.
- Pour dulce de leche over the crust, trying to keep the edges mostly bare.
- Add coconut and pecans to the remaining dough and mix until incorporated. Crumble mixture over the dulce de leche, pressing it lightly over the top.
- Bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
