Salty Peanut Brittle Bars image

YUMMY is all I can say about this recipe. This wonderful treat comes from Betty Crocker, as well as the scrumptious picture. Makes a batch of 48 bars. It has all the favorites...peanut butter, peanuts and chocolate and of course we can't leave out the caramel topping.

I'm allergic to peanuts, so I made these bars with almond butter instead. They were just as delicious!

These bars are a great way to use up leftover peanut butter. I always have a jar of peanut butter in my pantry, so I can make these bars whenever I'm craving something sweet.

I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter, but I really enjoyed these bars. The saltiness of the peanuts balances out the sweetness of the butter perfectly.
