Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pouch of betty crocker sugar cookie mix
1/4 c firmly packed brown sugar
1 1/2 stick unsalted, cold butter, cut into pieces
2 c salted cocktail peanuts
1 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 jar(s) caramel ice cream topping
1/2 tsp coarse sea salt

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 15x10-inch pan with sides with cooking spray. Reserve 3 tablespoons cookie mix. 2 Place remaining cookie mix in large bowl. Stir in brown sugar. Using pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Press mixture in bottom of pan. Bake 18 minutes. 3 Immediately sprinkle cookie crust with peanuts and chocolate chips. In small microwavable bowl, microwave caramel topping on High about 30 seconds or until of drizzling consistency. Add reserved cookie mix; blend well. Drizzle evenly over peanuts and chocolate chips.

For bars, cut into 8 rows by 6 rows. Store covered at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan for making the peanut brittle, as it will help to prevent the sugar from burning.
  • Make sure that the sugar is melted completely before adding the peanuts and butter, otherwise the brittle will not set properly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the peanut brittle, as it can quickly burn.
  • Pour the peanut brittle onto a lightly greased baking sheet and allow it to cool completely before breaking it into pieces.
  • For the peanut butter bars, use a good quality peanut butter that is creamy and smooth.
  • Chill the peanut butter bars for at least 30 minutes before cutting them into squares, this will help them to set and hold their shape.
  • Store the peanut brittle and peanut butter bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

These salty peanut brittle bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.
