How to Make German Chocolate Caramel Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the batter in the pan.
- Pour the remaining batter over the caramel sauce and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
