Ingredients
- For the Base:
- Approximately 12 graham crackers
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- For the Topping:
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Start by arranging graham crackers in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Break them to fit if necessary.
Step 2: Make the Caramel Mixture
In a saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat and add 1 cup of packed brown sugar. Stir until you get a smooth, bubbly caramel-like mixture.
Step 3: Pour the Caramel
Carefully pour the caramel mixture over the graham crackers, spreading it evenly. Bake for about 7-9 minutes, until bubbly.
Step 4: Add the Chocolate
Immediately after removing from the oven, sprinkle 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips over the hot caramel layer. Allow them to sit and melt for a few minutes, then spread the melted chocolate evenly.
Step 5: Top with Nuts
Sprinkle 1 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans (optional) on top for that extra crunch and bold flavor.
Step 6: Cool and Cut
Let the bars cool at room temperature, then pop them into the fridge to set. Once firm, cut into squares and enjoy!
