Ingredients

Main Ingredients

▢ 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs about 10 full sheets
▢ 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
▢ 0.25 cup granulated sugar
▢ 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
▢ 1 cup caramel bits or soft caramel candies unwrapped
▢ 0.25 cup heavy cream
▢ 0.5 teaspoon sea salt for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel bits and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the caramel is fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted caramel over the baked crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the caramel layer. Bake the bars for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is melted and slightly bubbling.
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with sea salt. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

Notes

For an extra crunch, you can add chopped nuts of your choice before baking the chocolate layer. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
