Step 8

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips with almond milk in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth.

Step 9

Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.

Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top for extra flavor.

Step 11

Refrigerate the slice for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate has set completely.

Step 12

Cut into 16 squares and serve. Keep any leftovers refrigerated.
