Start with the Base: A crust is key for adding texture. Graham crackers are the perfect pick. Use your fingers or a spoon to firmly press 2 ½ cups fine graham cracker crumbs mixed with ½ cup melted butter into an 8×8 inch pan lined with parchment paper. This forms the foundation.
Make the Magic Middle: In a small saucepan, stir, stir, stir 1 and ¼ packed cups brown sugar and 1 can sweetened condensed milk over medium heat until bubbly. Let bubble 2-3 minutes, continuing to stir constantly. This transforms the ingredients into luscious homemade caramel. Spread over the crust.
Chill Out: Allow the bars to chill, covered, in the fridge for at least 2 hours. This firms up the caramel layer and ensures perfect cutting.
Blanket in Chocolate: Uncover the pan and sprinkle 1 and ½ cups chocolate chips over the caramel. In 5 minutes they’ll soften, then spread into an even layer of chocolatey goodness. Return to the fridge for 30 more minutes.
Cut and Customize: Lift the entire slab out of the pan by the parchment overhang. Cut into 1.5 inch squares with a sharp knife. Gently remove each piece and decorate the tops with anything you like – powdered sugar, nuts, coconut, pretzels, etc. Dig in to caramel-chocolate bliss!
