Found this gem on a package of walnuts. It's become a favourite here at our house. I cut them into bite size pieces just so I can have a few to savour and not feel any pangs of guilt.

CHOCOLATE SALTED CARAMEL BARS



Chocolate Salted Caramel Bars image

I love to experiment with different recipes and combine classic and new flavors. I've been making this shortbread for over 20 years and finally have found the perfect pairing! I love salted caramel, and of course I love dark chocolate, so I layered these two flavors with my favorite shortbread crust. It's melt-in-your-mouth good, and it is quickly becoming a favorite with my family, friends and customers! For even more gooey goodness, drizzle bottled caramel sauce over top. -Lisa Glenn, Sarasota
