Salted Caramel Pecan Bars
Well this is delicious. We have just finished creating another book for Murray River Salt and this was a hot contender. Lucky you, we kept it for Insiders!
This is like a pecan pie without the fuss of pastry, and with the amazing caramelly, saltiness that just brings it to the next level. Don't be shy with the salt, but make sure it is indeed Murray River Pink Salt Flakes or you will be disappointed!
