These Dulce de Leche Butter Crumb Bars have a delicious buttery shortbread crust with a gooey caramel filling and topped with more buttery shortbread crumbles. These are ah-mazing!!

Dulce de Leche Butter Crumb Bars

School started today for my boys. I’m really hoping Parker survives. He officially declared his life being over because school has started. He moped around the house all day yesterday muttering things like “why do we have to go to school?”, “school is so stupid!”,  “why can’t school only be 104 days and summer vacation be the rest of the days?” (I think he watches too much Phineas and Ferb.)

Talk about being a Debbie Downer, it was a little depressing around here yesterday. I took my boys out to Crown Burger for lunch hoping that might cheer up Parker because don’t burgers and shakes always make things better? It didn’t work.

I was really wishing I had one of these Dulce De Leche Butter Crumb Bars left to cheer me up, that for sure would have worked.Dulce de Lech Butter BarsThese bars are crazy, crazy good!  Buttery, crispy and gooey all in one. I love the sweet with just the hint of salty. I had to give them away because I literally would have eaten the entire pan. I am a sucker for anything involving caramel and then when you had buttery crumbles to the mix. . . oh heaven help me!

These bars are super simple to make and are absolutely calling your name right now.

    These are the bomb!! Cade’s comment was “so buttery”. I made my own caramel sauce, but it was time consuming. I wonder if store bought would taste the same. Loved these!!

      Cade is right, they’re so buttery and sooo good! I am always for “homemade” anything instead of store bought, but honestly, the store bought dulce de leche is so good and was perfect for these. Thanks Christine!
