CARAMEL PECAN DREAM BARS

These Caramel Pecan Dream Bars really are dreamy and if it weren’t for The Recipe Tin Project, I never would have known they existed. They take approximately five minutes to get into the oven and they rely mostly on kitchen shortcuts that are easy to keep in your pantry so they are the type of dessert that’s easy to whip up on a moment’s notice. It’s hard not to fall in love with a dessert bar that’s sticky, sweet, and full of toffee flavor so it’s easy to see why Emily took the time to commit this one to paper. And I’m sure glad she did.

Ingredients
FOR THE CRUST:
1 box yellow cake mix
1/3 cup soft margarine
1 egg

FOR THE FILLING:

1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 cup bits o’ Brickle baking chips

How To Make Caramel Pecan Dream Bars
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
Mix together the cake mix, margarine, and egg and press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Pour filling ingredients (sweetened condensed milk, pecans, bits o’ brickle) over the base and bake 25-30 minutes.
Let cool before cutting. Enjoy!
