I am usually all about making cakes and cookies and other treats from scratch, but every once in a while I run across one of those recipes that combine using some kind of prepared mix with enough “scratch” ingredients that it seems just close enough, and this is the kind of recipe that can completely shock you (in the best possible way) with how good it is. I’m talking Ridiculously Easy Peach Crumble. I’m talking Butterfinger Cake. And I’m talking these Caramel Walnut Dream Bars, which sucked me in on the basis of the title alone. Caramel, Walnut and Dream all in the same title. Oh yeah, I’m there.
As you can tell, this is a delectably sweet treat. Sweet, sweet, sweet. Want to know something else that is impossibly sweet? (This has nothing to do with food in any way, so if you just want the recipe, feel free to skip on down to the bottom. It’s just too good a story to NOT tell, so I’m a-telling it.)
The teenager and her adorable boyfriend have been going out for a year now, which is like 50 years in teenage time. And so the boyfriend brought
Sweet!!

Ahhh adorable! He's a keeper. I approve. And thus she is allowed to keep dating him.
These caramel walnut dream bars are also keepers. I shall make them and not give a single one away. And I shall be quite happy about it.
Such a sweet story, and a very creative teenage boy! I'm impressed. She must have picked a good one.
The method for the bars is very similar to the pecan pie cake I make, which I love. Will have to try this one, too.

And the bars look delicious. I need more bars in my life.
Oh what a sweetheart! The bars look great too, but the story – awww.
Can't do this one, it would kill my husband. Allergic to nuts in a big way.
But I might try the Caramel apple cake if it has no nuts. Will go check it out now!
