Salted Chocolate Nutty Bars
Ingredients:
- 2 cups crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar (optional for sweetness)
- 1 cup mixed nuts (like almonds, peanuts, and pecans), roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce or melted soft caramels
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for an extra smooth texture)
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions:
1. Let’s kick things off by gathering all your ingredients—trust me, you’ll want everything within arm’s reach for this easy no-bake treat! Start by mixing the crushed graham crackers with melted butter and sugar (if you’re feeling sweet). Toss it all together until the crumbs are evenly coated and ready to pack a flavor punch!
2. Now, grab a parchment-lined 9x9-inch baking dish. It’s time to press that buttery crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the dish to create the base of your bars. Once you’ve got a nice, even layer, pop it in the fridge while we work on the next layer!
3. Time to add some nuttiness! Sprinkle those chopped mixed nuts evenly over your chilled base. Then, drizzle the caramel sauce over the nuts, ensuring everything gets a little kiss of sweetness. Give that a chill for about 15 minutes—it’ll help everything stick together.
4. Let’s melt some chocolate! Take your semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips and mix them with the coconut oil in the microwave (do it in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth). Alternatively, melt them over a double boiler if you prefer. Once melted, pour that deliciousness over the nutty layer, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
5. Now comes the best part: sprinkle that flaky sea salt all over the melted chocolate. This salty-sweet combo is what dreams are made of!
6. Cover and chill the whole thing in the fridge for at least an hour or until it’s fully set. Patience is key—this will pay off when you slice into those bars!
7. Once they’re firm, take a sharp knife and cut those beauties into bars or squares. Get ready for some serious flavor sensations with each bite!
