SALTED CARAMEL BAR RECIPE Recipes

Salted Caramel Bar recipe made with a sweet shortbread crust & topped with smooth caramel and sea salt. Perfectly indulgent caramel butter bar dessert!

We love caramel in our house, so these Salted Caramel Bars quickly became a favorite. I’ve taken them to a few parties and they always disappear fast. The buttery shortbread crust topped with soft, sweet caramel sprinkled with a bit of sea salt is an absolutely fantastic combination.

I prefer to buy either unwrapped caramel bits OR the caramel pieces in a bag that are specifically for baking, because the outer wrapper comes off really easily. Those small square caramels in the clear plastic wrapper are such a pain to unwrap! You can find the baking caramels on end caps, on the baking aisle or often in the produce section by the apples.
