These No-Bake Salted Caramel Bars feature a buttery graham cracker crust topped with a luscious layer of homemade salted caramel and finished with a drizzle of chocolate. The taste is a delightful balance of sweet and salty, making each bite a little piece of heaven.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well mixed. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined 9×9 inch baking dish to form the crust.
- Make the Caramel Layer: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, corn syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil, then simmer for 5-7 minutes, until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the sea salt.
- Assemble the Bars: Pour the caramel mixture over the prepared crust and spread evenly. Allow it to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Add the Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled caramel layer and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours or until set. Once set, cut into squares and enjoy!
