How to Make 5 Ingredient Salted Caramel Crumble Bars

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
Unwrap the refrigerated sugar cookie dough.
Break up the cookie dough into smaller pieces.
Reserve 1/2 cup of the cookie dough for the crumble topping.
Press the remaining cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden brown.
Let the crust cool for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the caramel topping and flour until well combined.
Pour the caramel mixture evenly over the cooled crust, spreading to within 1/4 inch of the edges.
Sprinkle sea salt and 1/4 cup of the chopped pecans over the caramel layer.
In a small bowl, combine the reserved 1/2 cup cookie dough and the remaining 1/4 cup chopped pecans. Mix until well blended.
Crumble the cookie dough mixture evenly over the caramel layer.
Bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the crumble topping is golden brown and the caramel is bubbly.
Let the bars cool completely in the pan for at least 1 hour before cutting.
Once cooled, cut the bars into 16 (4x4) squares.
