Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 lb Caramel candies, unwrapped
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper hangs over the sides for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture evenly into the prepared pan to form the crust. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Step 4

While the crust cools, prepare the caramel layer. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the caramel candies with the heavy cream, stirring frequently, until smooth and fully combined.

Step 5

Pour the warm caramel mixture over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Let it set for about 10 minutes.

Step 6

Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth.

Step 7

Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the caramel layer, using a spatula to create a smooth finish. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top, if desired.

Step 8

Refrigerate the bars for at least 1 hour, or until firm. Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the overhanging parchment paper and cut into 16 squares.

Step 9

Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
