How to make
-
STEP 1
Heat oven to 350°F. Line 13x9-inch baking pan with foil, extending foil over edges; set aside.
-
STEP 2
Combine 1 cup butter and granulated sugar in large bowl; beat at medium speed until creamy. Add flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt; mix to combine (mixture will be crumbly). Press into bottom of prepared pan. Bake 20-25 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Remove from oven; let cool while making caramel.
-
STEP 3
Stir all Caramel ingredients together except vanilla in heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, 20-25 minutes or until candy thermometer reaches 236-239°F. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. (Caramel may be speckled with brown bits.) Pour caramel over baked crust and spread evenly (mixture will be very hot). Let cool 1 1/2 hours.

STEP 4

STEP 5
To cut into sticks, remove from pan using foil overhang. Cut bars in half into 2 (9x6 1/2-inch) rectangles. Cut each rectangle into thirds to make 6 (6 1/22x3-inch) rectangles. Cut each of these rectangles into 8 (3x3/4-inch) sticks.
Tip #1
Let the bars rest at room temperature a bit before cutting into sticks. If the chocolate is too cold, it will crack when cut.
