Caramel Pecan Dream Bars

Indulge in the irresistible decadence of these Caramel Pecan Dream Bars, a delightful dessert that combines the rich flavors of caramel, pecans, and bits o’ Brickle baking chips on a buttery cake mix crust. These bars are the perfect combination of chewy, crunchy, and sweet, making them a crowd-pleasing treat for any occasion.

Ingredients:

• Crust: Made with yellow cake mix, soft margarine, and egg, the crust provides a deliciously buttery and slightly sweet base for the decadent filling.
• Filling: A mouthwatering combination of sweetened condensed milk, chopped pecans, and bits o’ Brickle baking chips creates a luscious and indulgent topping that perfectly complements the crust.

How To Make It:

1. Prepare Crust: Preheat the oven and grease a baking pan. Mix together the cake mix, margarine, and egg to form the crust dough. Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan.
2. Make Filling: Combine the sweetened condensed milk, chopped pecans, and bits o’ Brickle baking chips. Pour the filling mixture over the crust.
3. Bake: Bake the bars in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set, usually about 25-30 minutes.
4. Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors and textures!

Tips:

• Use Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor and texture, use high-quality ingredients, especially when it comes to the pecans and bits o’ Brickle baking chips.
• Press Crust Firmly: Be sure to press the crust dough firmly into the bottom of the pan to ensure an even base for the filling.
• Watch Closely While Baking: Keep an eye on the bars while they are baking to prevent overcooking. They should be golden brown on top and set in the center.
• Allow to Cool Completely: Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This will allow the filling to set properly and make for easier slicing.
• Store Properly: Store any leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to several days.
