1 cup unsalted butter, melted
-
1 cup caramel sauce
-
1 cup chocolate chunks
-
½ cup chopped nuts (optional)
-
½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix until crumbly but holds together when pressed.

Press about two-thirds of this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the base.
-
Spread caramel sauce evenly over the crust.
-
Sprinkle chocolate chunks, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts evenly over the caramel layer.
-
Crumble the remaining dough over the top to cover the chocolate and caramel layers.
-
Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
Notes
-
Use high-quality caramel sauce for best flavor.
-
Nuts are optional—pecans or walnuts work great.
