Salted Caramel-Cashew Bars image

I came across a lot of different Salted Caramel Cashew Bar recipes this season and everyone had one reason or another as to why I would not make it. So this is my tweaked version of Tutti Dolci's recipe.

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 35m

Yield 16 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup flour
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 pinch sea salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup cashews
sea salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch baking dish with foil. Whisk together flour, powdered sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Cut butter into 1/2-inch pieces; sprinkle over flour mixture and use a pastry cutter to cut in evenly until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add dough to prepared baking dish; use a piece of parchment to press dough into an even layer. Bake for 23 minutes, until crust is lightly golden. Cool on wire rack.
  • Place butter and brown sugar in a heavy saucepan. Melt over medium heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, until boiling. Once mixture boils, reduce temperature to medium-low and let bubble for 3 more minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; carefully add salt and vanilla (mixture will bubble up). Quickly pour caramel over shortbread layer and spread with an offset spatula. Top with cashews, pressingly gently to adhere; sprinkle with sea salt. Chill in the refrigerator until completely set, about 1 hour.
  • Carefully lift foil and place bars on a cutting board; use a sharp knife to cut into squares. Store leftover squares in an airtight container at room temperature.

Overall, these bars were a bit disappointing. I wouldn't make them again.

I had some trouble getting the caramel to set properly, but the bars were still tasty.

The bars were a little crumbly, but the flavor was great.

These salted caramel cashew bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I made these bars for a bake sale and they were a huge success! Everyone loved them.

These bars are the perfect balance of sweet and salty. The shortbread crust is flaky and buttery, and the caramel is rich and gooey.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a little more salt to the caramel. Otherwise, it's perfect!

These bars are dangerously addictive! I had to hide them from myself so I wouldn't eat them all in one sitting.

I love that this recipe uses simple ingredients that I already had on hand. It's a great way to use up leftover cashews.

Followed the recipe to a T and the bars came out perfect! Rich, gooey caramel, buttery shortbread crust, and crunchy cashews. YUM!
