Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

To make this delicious dessert, start by preheating the oven to 350°F. Then, in a large bowl, combine the softened butter and peanut butter. Use an electric mixer to mix until the ingredients are creamy and well-combined. Once combined, add in the confectioners’ sugar and mix until everything is smooth and creamy. Then, add in the all-purpose flour and mix until a thick dough forms.

Next, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and roll the dough out onto the paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to about 1/4” thick. Next, use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into 1” pieces. Place the pieces onto the baking sheet, leaving about 1” of space between each piece. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the pieces to cool completely before topping with caramel sauce and sea salt.

Finally, melt the caramel sauce in the microwave or over a double boiler. Spread the melted caramel sauce over the top of each piece and sprinkle with sea salt. Allow the caramel sauce to set before serving.
