Chewy chocolate caramel bars recipe
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes
Yield: one 13X9" baking pan
2 cups (240 grams) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (56 grams) diced cold butter
1 1/2 cups (300 grams) sugar
1 cup (80 grams) cocoa
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (168 grams) melted butter
5 oz (1 small) can evaporated milk
14 oz caramels, unwrapped
1 1/2 cups (226 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
12-14 extra caramels

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350F. Line a 13X9 baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside. In a food processor add the flour and cold diced butter. Pulse a few more times until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs and all the butter is cut in. You can also use a pastry blender, a fork or rub the butter and flour with your hands. Add the sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt and whisk to combine. In a large mixing bowl add the dry ingredients mix and pout the melted butter on top. Add 1/3 cup of the evaporated milk and mix until well combined. The dough it's going to be similar to a light crumby cookie dough. Spread 2/3 of the dough in the prepared baking pan and set aside. Refrigerate the remaining dough until needed. In a small saucepan place the remaining evaporated milk and the unwrapped caramels. Stir continuously over low heat until the caramels are melted. Pout over the cookie dough base. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the caramel layer. Take the remaining cookie dough out of the fridge and crumble it on top of the chocolate chips. Top with the remaining caramels. Bake for 25 minutes. It may seem bubbly and undone but once cooled the caramel and chocolate layers will set. Cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.

Tips:

  • Use good quality chocolate: This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the squares.
  • Don't overcook the caramel: It should be thick and golden, but not too hard.
  • Let the squares cool completely before cutting: This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the squares in an airtight container at room temperature: They will keep for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These chewy choco-caramel squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for any occasion, from a quick snack to a special dessert. With their rich chocolate flavor and gooey caramel center, these squares are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
