Peanut Butter Caramel Swirl Bars
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, mix together 1/2 cup melted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
- Stir in 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the peanut butter batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
- Drizzle 1/2 cup of caramel sauce over the peanut butter batter, then use a knife to swirl the caramel into the batter to create a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bars to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice into bars and enjoy!
