Tips:

  • To ensure the caramel layer is smooth and creamy, use high-quality butter and brown sugar. Also, be sure to cook the mixture over medium heat and stir constantly.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can tell the caramel is ready by its color. It should be a deep amber hue.
  • To prevent the chocolate ganache from seizing, make sure the cream is hot but not boiling when you add it to the chocolate. Stir the mixture constantly until it is smooth and glossy.
  • If you are short on time, you can use store-bought graham cracker crumbs for the crust. However, homemade crumbs will give the bars a more authentic flavor.
  • To make cutting the bars easier, chill them for at least 30 minutes before serving.

With their rich, buttery crust, gooey caramel filling, and creamy chocolate ganache, these bars are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
