Buckeye Bars with Shortbread Crust (Ohio)

Theres a tree in Ohio called the buckeye tree. Thus, the reason its called the Buckeye State. But thankfully, these delicious buckeye bars are way more edible than buckeye nuts! In fact, wed even go so far as to say they are absolutely yummy, especially for all of you chocolate and peanut butter lovers. This recipe uses our gluten free 1-to-1 baking flour mixed with salt, butter and sugar for the shortbread, along with a hefty dose of chocolate chips and butter for the layer of chocolate, and even more butter, peanut butter, heavy cream and powdered sugar for the peanut butter layer. Seriously, this is one decadent little dessert bar. And the recipe makes 16 servings, so there (theoretically) should be plenty to go around!

Toffee and caramel make these chewy toffee bars absolutely amazing. They are topped with chocolate, too, pushing the gotta have just one more, factor to the limit. The buttery toffee crust is made with unbleached white all-purpose flour and baking powder, plus toffee bits by Heath or Skor. The ooey-gooey caramel center is made with caramel bits, butter and sweet condensed milk. Smother these bars with semi-sweet chocolate chips once they come out of the oven, and let the heat melt them so that you can spread the chocolate around and coat them completely. Pop them in the fridge for a while, then cut and serve. Ridiculously good, we cannot tell a lie!
