Comment préparer Caramel Crumb Bars

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position a rack on the lowest level.
Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to help lift the bars later. Lightly grease the parchment with softened butter (save wrappers!).
**Make the Dough:** In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, cream together 16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix to combine.
Gradually add 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), mixing on low speed until a smooth dough forms.
Scrape down the bowl. Remove dough from mixer.
Press ¾ of the dough evenly into the prepared pan. Chill while you make the topping.
**Make the Topping:** Work the remaining ¼ cup all-purpose flour into the remaining dough with your fingers until crumbly.
**Make the Caramel Filling:** In a medium saucepan, combine 6 tablespoons (¾ stick) unsalted butter, ½ cup light corn syrup, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk.
Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes, until thickened and slightly darkened.
Pour the caramel into a stainless steel bowl to cool for 5 minutes.
**Assemble:** Spread the cooled caramel filling evenly over the chilled dough. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the caramel.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the filling is bubbling, deeply caramelized, and the crust is golden brown.
Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15-20 minutes until lukewarm.
Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 2-inch squares on a cutting board.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature (for up to 1 day) or freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw to room temperature before serving.
