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.
