For the Caramel Layer
  • 1 cup Caramel Adds the sweet, chewy essence; more crackers are also added.
For the Chocolate Topping
  • 1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips Creamy chocolate flavor; dark chocolate chips can be used.
  • 1 cup Butterscotch Chips Delivers a sweet, buttery note; can replace with more chocolate chips.
  • 1/2 cup Peanut Butter Enhances creaminess; creamy peanut butter is best.
For the Finish
  • 1 teaspoon Maldon Sea Salt Sprinkled on top for a salty contrast; swap with flaky sea salt if necessary.

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch Baking Pan
  • medium saucepan
  • Microwave-Safe Bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Layer Club Crackers in the bottom evenly.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine caramel ingredients. Cook and stir for about 7 minutes until smooth and bubbling.
  3. Pour half of the caramel over the first layer of Club Crackers. Add a second layer of crackers and cover with the rest of the caramel, followed by more crackers.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter. Melt in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Spread over the final layer of crackers.
  5. Sprinkle Maldon sea salt generously over the chocolate layer. Allow bars to cool completely at room temperature.
  6. Refrigerate the bars for about 30 minutes, then use the parchment to remove and cut into squares or rectangles.
