Caramel & Chocolate Toffee Kettle Corn Bars

I saw this recipe a couple of weeks ago, and could not stop thinking about it! I just had to make them! They are the perfect blend of sweet and salty!!! Great for summer BBQ's and easy to make! All the summer farmers markets make fresh kettle corn, so you can buy it there or pop it yourself from the grocery store. These are a keeper for sure!!




What you'll need:

8 Cups popped kettlle corn
1- 8 ounce pkg of chocolate covered toffee pieces
1 Cup chopped pecans
2/3 Cup light corn syrup
2/3 Cup Sweetened condensed milk
1/2 Cup light brown sugar
5 Tablespoons butter
3 Tablespoons sugar
1 Teaspoon vanilla
1- 12 ounce pkg milk chocolate chips
1/4 Cup caramel ice cream topping
2-3 Teaspoons course sea salt




How to make:

Line a 13x9 inch pan with aluminum foil, extending the foil over the edges. Pop 8 cups of kettle corn. Combine corn, toffee pieces and pecans in a bowl and set a side.

In a saucepan, add corn syrup, condensed milk, brown sugar, butter and sugar. Stir until butter is melted and ingredients are combined. Bring to a boil stirring constantly. Gently boil mixture for 6-8 minutes or until light brown . Remove from heat and mix in vanilla.

Pour hot mixture over kettle corn mix. Stir until corn is well coated. Transfer corn to the 13x9 inch pan and spread evenly. Press firmly with back of spoon to get the mix flat.

In a small sauce pan or microwave, melt 12 ounces of milk chocolate. Once melted, spread chocolate on top of corn mixture. Drizzle caramel sauce over chocolate, and sprinkle sea salt over the top.

Chill for about an hour in frig or until chocolate is set. Cut into bars and enjoy!
