Irresistible Caramel Chocolate Crunch Bars

Irresistible Caramel Chocolate Crunch Bars

Irresistible Caramel Chocolate Crunch Bars masterfully blend gooey caramel, smooth rich chocolate, and a satisfying crunchy base into a decadent, easy-to-make treat perfect for sharing or indulging any time.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 25 minutes
  • Yield: 16 bars 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Gooey Caramel Layer

  • 1 cup high-quality caramel sauce or homemade caramel

Chocolate Topping

  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Crunchy Base

  • 2 cups crushed graham crackers, digestive biscuits, or crisped rice cereal
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crunchy Base: Crush your choice of biscuits or cereal until fine but still slightly chunky. Mix with melted butter and brown sugar until well combined, then press firmly into a lined baking dish to create an even foundation.
  2. Bake the Base: Bake the base in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to set the structure and bring out the nutty aromas of the butter and sugar.
  3. Add the Caramel Layer: Pour and spread a generous layer of smooth caramel over the baked base while it’s still warm, allowing it to seep into crevices but remain gooey on top.
  4. Top with Chocolate: Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the caramel layer, let sit for a minute, then spread with a spatula to create a smooth, shiny chocolate coating.
  5. Chill Until Set: Refrigerate the bars for at least two hours to allow layers to firm up and flavors to meld. Cut into squares before serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality caramel and chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Don’t skip chilling to achieve clean cuts and perfect texture.
  • Press the base firmly to prevent crumbling when slicing.
  • Spread chocolate while warm for a glossy finish.
  • Experiment with textures by adding toasted coconut or nuts.
