Salted Caramel Bars

I have a very simple and delicious dessert for all you salted caramel lovers- salted caramel bars! These are basically easy to whip up shortbread bars that are topped with salted caramel and walnuts.

The base of these bars is very simple to make. It only calls for some basic ingredients like flour, butter, egg and sugar. I use Demerara sugar infused with cinnamon from SPRIG. It gives these bars a beautiful warm flavor that goes really well with the salted caramel. The salted caramel topping is literally just out of a jar. The SPRIG classic salted caramel is all sorts of delicious. It is thick and the texture is beautiful.
