🧄 Ingredients (Makes 16–20 Bars)

For the Base

• 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits)

• 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

• 2 tbsp brown sugar (for extra caramel flavor)

• Pinch of salt (balances the sweetness)

For the Caramel Layer

• 1 (14 oz) bag soft caramels (like Kraft) — or 1 cup homemade caramel

• 2 tbsp heavy cream or evaporated milk (for smooth texture)

• ½ cup salted peanuts or crushed pretzels (optional, for crunch and contrast)

For the Chocolate Topping

• 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk/dark chocolate)

• 1 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening (for that clean, glossy snap)

• Flaky sea salt (optional, for a gourmet finish)

Nut-free? Skip the peanuts — use pretzels or toasted oats instead.
