Salted Caramel Crumble Bars

My son Zach got his tonsils out on Wednesday so I’ve been sticking close to home to take care of him.  My daughter Courtney came over to visit last night so I made some dinner and these little bars of yummyness!  Salted Caramel is my new favorite, right after chocolate of course and these were delicious!

1 pouch Betty Crocker Salted Caramel cookie mix (it says limited edition on the bag so you might not be able to find it anymore) or 1 pouch sugar cookie mix plus ingredients to make cookies (which is 1 egg and 1/2 stick butter)

1/2 cup caramel topping

2 tablespoons flour

1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1  Heat oven to 350.  Spray 8″ square pan with cooking spray.

2  Prepare cookie mix as directed on package, reserve 1/4 of the dough and press the remaining 3/4 dough into the bottom of the pan.

3  Bake 20 – 25 minutes or until light golden brown.  Let cool 10 minutes.

4  While waiting for it to cool, stir caramel topping and 2 tablespoons flour together.  Pour over cooled crust and spread evenly.  Sprinkle salt and 1/4 cup of chopped pecans over caramel.

5  Mix remaining dough and remaining pecans together and crumble over mixture in pan.

6  Bake 30 – 35 minutes or until golden brown.  Cool 1 hour before cutting.
