Salted Caramel Butter Bars : Yummy Bar Recipes

Yummy Bar Recipes are back with these Salted Caramel Butter Bars. Delicious salted caramel in these rich butter bars is positively delightful. I mean, if you love salted caramel, then these really are for you. I should really rename them “can’t get enough bars”.

Have you ever made a recipe that you serve & the next thing you know….it’s gone? Yeah, that’s exactly what happens with these Salted Caramel Butter Bars every time I make them. I don’t know why I never remember to make a double batch when I whip these up for the family – but I really just need to do just that. The drill usually goes a little something like, “so what do you have for dessert?”. I say “butter bars” as I am bring them out & get them cut. I then set the pan on the table, grab one for myself & listen to the yums from everyone. Then all of a sudden I look back at the pan & they are GONE! Just like that.

I love how easy they are to make – which is great! Honestly, if I put a ton of work into a recipe- I sort of want it to last more than a few minutes. These certainly don’t last anywhere near that, so it makes me feel better that it doesn’t take me very much effort to go from prep to enjoy. I’m telling you- these are a MUST MAKE & I promise they will become your new favorite yummy bar recipe EVER!
