Caramel Crush Bars

When it comes to desserts, there is one ingredient that I just can’t resist…CARAMEL!  I could even go so far to say that I have a geniune crush on caramel.  And I am not fussy.  It could be drizzled on top of ice cream, swirled delicately amid chocolate and pecans, or simply wrapped in plastic, going solo.  Because of this love, I am always searching for or creating new recipes to satisfy this NEED I have.  These Caramel Crush Bars are my latest creation and have quickly worked their way to my “Favorite Desserts” list.

A couple weeks ago, I posted my Easy Dreamy Chocolate Bars.  These are also definitely on my “Favorite Desserts” list.  Just recently, my sweet Sy’Rih approached me at 8:10pm and informed me she needed to take a treat to school the following day.  She requested her favorite, Easy Dreamy Chocolate Bars.  I quickly started gathering the ingredients when I discovered I didn’t have any sweetened condensed milk.  Determined to still pull through for her, my mind began racing.  Immediately CARAMEL popped into my head.  How could I go wrong by substituting caramel into a recipe??  Result…an amazing creation…Caramel Crush Bars.
