This week’s recipe for Caramel Crunch Bars is hosted by, Whitney, of the blog, What’s Left on the Table? I am a huge caramel fan, so I was pretty excited to see this recipe on the list for February. The picture in Dorie’s book looks amazing, so I had some high expectations for these bars. After reading the P&Q on the TwD site, I decided to bake these in a 9×9 pan as opposed to the 9×13 that Dorie calls for in the recipe. The recipe came together in a snap and the dough was so delectable that I wanted to lick the bowl (I refrained for sanitary purposes as these were heading to the co-workers)! I did not modify anything except that I used semi-sweet chips as instead of bittersweet; this substitution is simply a personal preference. At home I served these bars with a scoop of Ben & Jerry’s Karamel Sutra ice cream. For those of you that have never had this amazing creation, it’s a core of soft caramel encircled by chocolate & caramel ice creams & fudge chips. Beware…this stuff is not low fat…I advise that you do not keep more than one in your freezer because it is sinfully delicious and HIGHLY addictive. Honestly I think it tacks on a few pounds to my booty every time it crosses my lips!
For the recipe, check out Whitney’s blog or flip to pages 112-113 of Baking: From My Home to Yours. For more interpretations of this yummy bar, head over to the Tuesdays With Dorie site! Enjoy!
Those pictures look fabulous!
ooooOOOooo Karmel Sutra would be the perfect ice cream for this.
I tend to eat the caramel out of the middle then eat the ice cream.
Your bars look yummy.
I have never tried Karamel Sutra… I can never get beyond just picking “New York Super Fudge Chunk.” But your description is making me very tempted.
Gorgeous picture :)
Okay, so I figure you’re the kinda a person who’s able to take the diabetic coma… AND go on to the ice cream! LOL LOL Those were amazing weren’t they!
Beautiful, Jamie… I love the light in your pictures!
What a dessert!! The bars look incredible and even better with ice cream!
These look perfect, nice job! Mine were a bit crisp, but still tasty :)
That looks so good!
I love Karamel Sutra ice cream. It’s heaven. But so were these bars, which were great with ice cream. Your bars look great. YUM.
Mmm, how delicious! Your bars turned out wonderfully…what great flavor combos all in one bite!
