Description
Delicious caramel crush bars with a sweet and gooey filling, perfect for dessert lovers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups quick oats
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 1 1/4 cups butter
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp flour
Instructions
- Melt 1 1/4 cups butter completely. Mix the melted butter with quick oats, all-purpose flour, and brown sugar. Press two-thirds of the mixture into a greased or parchment-lined 9×13 inch pan. Bake at 325ºF for 10 minutes, then allow it to cool. Set aside the remaining one-third of the crust mixture for topping.
- Melt 1/4 cup butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar until smooth, about 1 minute. Add milk, vanilla extract, and flour one at a time while stirring continuously. Bring the mixture to a slow boil and cook for about 3 minutes until it begins to thicken. Stir continuously, then remove from heat.
- When the crust is cool to the touch, pour the caramel filling evenly over it. Sprinkle the reserved crust mixture over the top. Bake at 300ºF for an additional 20 minutes. The bars may appear runny but will firm up as they cool completely.
Notes
- Make sure the bars are completely cooled before cutting for best texture.
- You can store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for several days.
