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!
yum they look Delectable! Wishing I had some left… argh! ;)
Yours bars look great. I’m hooked on caramel ice cream right now too – so dangerous.
I have not had Karamel Sutra ice cream. But I will have to try it now. I know I spent a lot of extra time trying to work off these extra treats this week
Whoa! They look amazing, and doubly amazing with that ice cream! I have never had Karmel Sutra before — I guess I am going to just have to whip up another batch of these bars and try some! Your picture is gorgeous!
Hahaha these are still in my freezer and are totally calling out to me! Your bars look fantastic!
Your cookies came out great. I took mine to work to share also otherwsie I would be 15 pounds bigger right now! Those cookies are sinfully good!
Nice of you to share your goodies! That ice cream looks like a winner, for sure!
Jamie, I can see how these would be fantastic with that ice cream. I’ll be on the lookout for that flavor, but I dont know if I should buy it or run from it!! Your bars are beautiful.
Nancy
I love your bowl, and that ice cream sounds delectable!
Oh, Jamie. Those do look good. I didn’t make them cause just looking at them makes my hips swell. Great job.
