Pumpkin Caramel Butter Bars Recipe

If you’re looking for an easy pumpkin dessert, this pumpkin caramel butter bars by Catherine’s Plates on YouTube gives off a good pumpkin spice seasonal treat. The butter bars sound so sweet, yet they look super moist with a little crunch from the pecans sprinkled on top. I love the fall series she has right now with all of the creative Fall desserts that I’ve never seen before. Catherine keeps it simple and easy with her recipes, and they’re all budget-friendly. The pumpkin and caramel together are ooey-gooey warm flavors on a buttery cookie crust. The triple layer of sweetness looks so good, and this would be a great dessert to make for those that have a sweet tooth. The cookie on the top and bottom with the warm pumpkin caramel mixture in the middle sounds ideal with a side of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients:

• 12 oz jar caramel sauce
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 2 cups butter softened
• 1 cup granulated white sugar
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 4 cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1 cup pecans, chopped

Directions:

First, in a medium bowl, whisk together caramel, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice. Set this aside for later. Preheat the oven to 325F. Continue to watch Catherine’s Plates tutorial on YouTube for full instructions and details.

Next, once the dough and crumble are finished, start to assemble and pour the caramel mixture evenly over the crust. Crumble the remaining dough over the pumpkin caramel mixture, and sprinkle with pecans. Bake for an additional 25 minutes.

Overall, I want to make this pumpkin caramel butter bar dessert because it would be a new addition to make for the holidays and Fall season. The idea of this dessert reminds me of a lot of the popular Fall desserts all in one.
