Beyond delicious buttery crusted creamy caramel streusel bars

About the Recipe: Caramels bring back so many wonderful memories. Matched with crispy butter-rich crumb crust and topped with crunchy streusel crumbs, these little bars are beyond delicious.

Recipe from: The Modern Baker (DK Publishing, 2008) by Nick Malgieri

Heartwarming Story: If Nick Malgieri had to choose one cookie above all others, it would be this one.  The buttery dough and creamy caramel filling complement each other perfectly.

Cutting Bars: Cool in the pan on a rack.  Lift the slab of baked dough out of the pan to a cutting board before it has cooled completely and cut the slab into 2-inch squares. Trim hard edges off outer squares.

Storage:  Keep these at room temperature if you are serving them within a day.  If not, wrap and freeze and make sure to defrost and bring to room temperature before serving.

Yield: Makes one 9 x 13 x 2-inch pan of cookies, about 24 – 2 inch squares.
