How to Make Dulce De Leche Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. Bake for 15 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  4. Prepare the dulce de leche layer: In a medium bowl, beat together the dulce de leche, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the dulce de leche mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  7. Let cool completely in the pan for at least 2 hours and 15 minutes before cutting into bars. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
