Ingredients

Scale

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!
