# Ingredients:

01 - 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
02 - 3/4 cup sugar
03 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla
05 - 1 egg
06 - 2 cups flour
07 - 11 oz package Kraft Caramel Bits
08 - 1/2 tablespoon sea salt

# Steps:

01 - Spray the bottom of the slow cooker with nonstick spray, coating it well.
02 - Using a mixer, beat together butter, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
03 - Add the egg and regular salt to the mixture and mix until combined.
04 - Gradually add flour, 1 cup at a time, and continue mixing until a soft dough forms.
05 - Lightly flour the dough and use your hands to form it into a ball.
06 - Use slightly more than half of the dough and press it evenly onto the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle additional flour as needed to prevent sticking.
07 - Evenly sprinkle the bag of caramel bits over the base dough layer.
08 - Crumble the remaining dough evenly over the caramel layer.
09 - Sprinkle the sea salt evenly across the crumbled dough layer.
10 - Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 2–3 hours. The cookie bars are done when they are slightly browned around the edges and a knife inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
