Happy Groundhogs Day everyone! It's also my birthday! Today's an extra special birthday for me because we get to go pick up our daughter Jennie and our 3 grandkids from the airport! They live in Maine now, they moved there last fall from Washington state. Even though we talk on the phone everyday, I miss them terribly! We're so excited to have them here for 2 weeks!
These are the bar cookies that I posted over at Or So She Says for a guest post I did Sunday. Feel free to pop on over and read the whole post!
These caramel bars are soo good! They are a moist caramel bar with a nice caramel frosting. They were a big hit with my family and they gobbled up half the pan the first day.
Caramel Bars
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 teaspoons vanilla
2 tablespoons milk
2 egg
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Heat oven to 350. Spray a 9x13 pan with Pam.
In a bowl mix the butter, sugar, eggs, milk and vanilla. Mix in the flour, baking powder and salt. With a spatula smooth the mixture (it will be thick) into the prepared pan. Bake for 26-28 minutes, don't over bake. Remove and cool.
Caramel Frosting
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
5 tablespoons milk
2 cups powdered sugar
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and milk. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low. Stir about 2 minutes. Cool to lukewarm. Beat in powdered sugar with a mixer until smooth and spreadable. Spread think layer over bars.
Stop by and visit me sometime! My blog is full of lots of recipes, sewing and hiking. http://songberries.blogspot.com

Carol, Please give Jennie a hug for me and tell her that the fudge was divine!! My whole family appreciated it and I also took note of the price of postage. She is a doll to be so giving. Have a wonderful visit with your family. :)

Happy Birthday Carol and thanks for visiting and following my blog! You are officially the first follower that I don't really know outside of the blog world! Congrats! Oh, and tell Jennie I said Hi! Lucky you get to spend time with her, I only met her briefly for a quick tour of the house I now live in and I felt right then that we were kindred souls :) She's great and your blog is A.DOR.A.BLE!
