SALTED PEANUT BARS
Ingredients:
1 cup flour, 1/3 cup packed brown sugar, 6 TBSP chilled butter plus 3 TBSP, divided
¾ cup sugar, ¼ cup heavy cream plus 1 tbsp. cream divided, 1 TBSP corn syrup, 1 cup marshmallow cream, 1 ½ cups cocktail peanuts
20 individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped, ½ tsp. coarse salt (I cut it down to 1/4 tsp.)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line 8 x 8 pan with foil and spray with cooking spray. Combine flour and brown sugar, then mix in 6 tbsp. chilled butter with pastry blender to make coarse crumbs. Press into bottom of pan and bake 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack. Combine remaining 3/4 cup white sugar with 1/4 c. heavy cream, 3 tbsp. butter, and corn syrup in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and add marshmallow cream. Spread onto warm crust and then place peanuts on top, pressing in gently. Finally, combine caramels and 1 tbsp. cream in medium microwave bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute or until almost melted. Stir until smooth. Spread over top of peanuts, sprinkle with salt. Refrigerate for a few hours to set up. Store in fridge.
