    I love fall, and I can never get enough of two very popular fall flavors: salted caramel and maple. So rather than choose between the two, I figured why not have both! These Salted Caramel Maple Bars are sweet, sticky, gooey, cakey, and incredibly easy to make, taking just 30 minutes from start to finish!

    Why this recipe works

    These two epic fall flavors complement each other so perfectly. These easy, baked bars have the consistency of a dense cake, and are loaded with the best sweet fall flavors. They are perfect for everything from an afternoon snack to a sweet breakfast to the perfect dessert for your Thanksgiving table.

    Ingredients and notes

    Ingredients needed for Easy Homemade Salted Caramel Maple Bars.

    Salted Caramel Sauce - This super simple recipe works with either homemade salted caramel sauce or a jar of store-bought sauce. Caramel sauce without salt will also work, just add a teaspoon of sea salt to the caramel.

    Maple Syrup - Maple syrup moistens and sweetens these dessert bars, as well as contributes to both the texture and flavor. Though the flavor will be better with real maple syrup, pancake syrup

    Salt - These magic golden squares use kosher salt in the batter, but to add extra saltiness to the caramel, sea salt will work best.

    How to make this recipe

    Step 5

    Step 6

    Cool completely and cut into delicious salted caramel maple squares.

    Recipe FAQs

    Is corn syrup the same as maple syrup?

    No! While both are sweet, corn syrup is just sweet and does not have flavor. Maple syrup has a delicious maple flavor. They are also different types of sugars, however you could likely substitute in corn syrup for the maple syrup in this recipe. It will just lose the maple flavor and you'll have sweet salted caramel bars!

    How can you tell if maple syrup is good quality?

    Maple syrup should be the only ingredient in maple syrup! Maple-flavored syrup is not the same thing, but will work fine in this recipe. However, once you switch to real maple syrup, you'll probably never go back!

    What's the difference between caramel and salted caramel?

    The only difference is the addition of sea salt. Saltiness balances out sweetness, which makes sea salt and caramel a perfect pair!

    Tips & Tricks

    • If you are making homemade caramel, you can make it a salted caramel, or even a salted maple caramel sauce, or you can add extra sea salt if you're using regular caramel sauce.
    • This recipe can be made in two 8x8 pans instead of a 9x13 pan, but bake time will likely need to be slightly shortened.

    I started creating my own recipes when I realized that baking blogs usually shared complicated and time-consuming recipes that needed a lot of kitchen equipment and a lot of ingredients. But I knew that baking did not need to be difficult! As much as I love to make these super simple recipes for my friends and family, I also love being able to share them with you!
