It seems only a few years ago that I was making fun of people in AARP.......I still find it amusing.....but NOW I am one!!! So hard to believe, where did the years go? Anyway, I wouldn't normally post a recipe from someone else but this turned out to be too good to forget about. Its really good and quite easy. Would make a great cookie for a Christmas party.
Oven 325 degrees........butter a 9 x 13 pan
Crust:
In your mixer put 1 cup (2 cubes) of slightly soft butter, add 2 cups flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 tsp salt. Mix it up. Mush this up into a ball and then press it into your buttered pan. Bake for about 40 minutes.
Caramel:
In a saucepan melt one cup of butter over low heat.......Stir in 1 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup corn syrup and 1 can (14 oz) of sweetened condensed milk. Bring up the heat to med low and bring to a boil stirring all the time. Boil for 4 min. (this time is needed to be sure the sugar is melted) Remove from the heat and add 1 tsp of vanilla and 1/2 tsp salt. Stir, pour over the baked crust and let it cool. When cool.........melt 3/4 lb (not cup....pound)of chocolate and pour over the caramel. I had to put mine in the frig to set the chocolate......When set, cut into squares..These are just excellent, even if the recipe did come from AARP..........I actually refuse to read the bulletin but Bob faithfully reads it and he is the one that suggested this recipe. I am pretending that I am not old!! LOL
