: Salted Caramel and Chocolate Chunk Bars
By foodiva
This recipe would have been much easier if I had used a bag of caramels, instead of making homemade caramel sauce
- Salted Caramel and Chocolate Chunk Bars
- makes about 14-16 bars
- for the caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 Tablespoons 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into about 6 pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon 1/4 teaspoon (or just a squirt) of lemon juice
- 1/4 cup 1/4 cup water
- method
- stand directly over the pan). Keep stirring until the caramel smooths out. Gradually add the pieces of butter, about 2 bits at a time. Once all the butter has been added and has melted into the caramel, whisk in the vanilla extract.
- Immediately pour the hot caramel into a medium heat-proof bowl. Set the bowl aside, stirring occasionally, as you prepare the bars.
- for the bars
- 2 1/8 cups 2 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon 1/2 teaspoon baking Soda
- 12 Tablespoons 12 Tablespoons (that's 1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
- 1 cup 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1/2 cup 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1 egg
- 1 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 8 ounces 8 ounces dark chocolate, coarsely chopped (or roughly 1 generous cup of chocolate chips)
- Caramel sauce (see recipe above)
- Coarse sea salt (optional)
- method
- Preheat the oven to 325 F. Lightly spray, or butter, an 11 x 7-inch glass Pyrex dish. (A 2-quart baking pan.)
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda; Set aside.
- e vanilla and beat for about one minute more.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients, and mix on low speed just until all the white streaks of flour have disappeared.
- Using a large wooded spoon or a rubber spatula, stir in the chocolate until evenly dispersed throughout the batter.
- Bake the bars for about 30-40 minutes, or until the edges begin to pull away from the pan and the top layer of dough is a light golden brown. [Note: The edges of my bars were much puffier than the middle, but the taste was still phenomenal.)
- Remove the pan from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Cool completely before slicing. Once the bars are room temperature, stick the pan into the fridge for a few hours, this will make the slicing process much easier!
