Recipe Summary Dulce De Leche Bars
A creamy center fills a shortbread-like buttery crust with a crumble-pecan coconut topping. This is a favorite with my family, boyfriend and at my workplace (a bakery!). Best served cool or room temperature.Ingredients | Concha Pan Dulce Wallpaper2 sticks unsalted butter, softened⅔ cup white sugar1 egg1 tablespoon vanilla extract2 ½ cups all-purpose flour½ teaspoon salt1 (12.5 fl oz) can dulce de leche1 cup shredded coconut¾ cup pecans, toasted and choppedDirectionsPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat again. Combine flour and salt. Add to the butter mixture and mix until a ball of dough forms.Press 2/3 of the dough into the bottom of the baking pan.Bake in the preheated oven until set and light brown, about 20 minutes.Pour dulce de leche over the crust, trying to keep the edges mostly bare.Add coconut and pecans to the remaining dough and mix until incorporated.
