Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9"x 13"x 2" baking pan.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and brown sugar until thoroughly combined. Add the eggs and vanilla, and mix well.
- Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Stir in the caramel bits and peanuts.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, and spread evenly. If desired, a pinch or two of coarse salt over the top of the batter.
- Bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until the edges are browned and the center appears set. A pick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
Notes
- With the salt on top of these bars, I prefer to use unsalted peanuts. If you use salted peanuts, I recommend either reducing the amount of salt in the recipe or omitting the sprinkling of salt on top.
