8x8-inch baking pan
saucepan
For the Cookie Base
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/2 cups Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Salt
For the Topping
- 20 Soft Caramel Candies, unwrapped
- 2 tbsp Heavy Cream
- 3/4 cup Salted Roasted Peanuts
- 1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips
- 1 tsp Coconut Oil
Preheat the oven to 350 F and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Add the gluten free 1-to-1 baking flour, baking soda, and salt and stir until a thick dough forms. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the edges are golden and the top is just set. Let cool completely in the pan.
In a small saucepan, melt the caramel candies with the heavy cream over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Spread the caramel evenly over the cooled cookie base. Sprinkle the roasted peanuts over the caramel and press them in gently.
Melt the milk chocolate chips with the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Pour the chocolate over the peanut layer and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until the chocolate is set, then slice into bars.
