Salted Caramel and Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars
Crust:
- 2 TBSP. unsalted butter or coconut oil
- 2 cups Salted Caramel Warrior Mix (pulverized in food processor or high-speed blender or old-fashioned way with a zip lock bag and a rolling pin)
- 2TBSP almond flour (or gf all-purpose flour)
- 1TBSP monk fruit
- Pinch salt
Directions:
Mix the above ingredients in a parchment or foil-lined 8×8 baking dish, press firmly to the edges and bake 350 for 8 minutes.
Filling:
8 oz roasted salted pecans
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
1/3 heavy cream
1 TBSP. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
Directions:
Spread pecans over the crust evenly and sprinkle, chocolate chips and set aside.
Melt the butter, brown sugar and heavy cream in a saucepan on high until melted – stir constantly to avoid burning – whisk until smooth and add the vanilla extract and salt and continue to whisk.
Slowly and evenly pour sauce over the chocolate chips/pecans.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is bubbling vigorously (more so around the edges and less in the center).
Set aside to cool and enjoy with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
