  • Bake Time: 28 to 32 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 package (9 ounces) Werther's Original Baking Caramels, divided
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/4 cups brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup Karo® Dark Corn Syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Directions

  6. Microwave remaining caramels and 1 teaspoon water until caramels have melted. Drizzle over warm bars. Allow bars to cool on a wire rack.
