Ingredients

For the Base

• 2 cups crispy rice cereal
• 1 cup crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers
• ½ cup melted unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

For the Caramel Layer

• 1 cup soft caramel candies (or homemade caramel)
• ¼ cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons butter
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt (optional)

For the Chocolate Topping

• 2 cups milk chocolate chips (or semi-sweet chocolate)
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter
• ¼ cup crispy rice cereal (optional, for extra crunch)
• Flaky sea salt for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Base

1. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Combine the crispy rice cereal, crushed biscuits, brown sugar, and melted butter.
3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan.
4. Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Caramel

1. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the caramel candies with the heavy cream and butter.
2. Stir until smooth and glossy.
3. Pour the caramel evenly over the chilled base.
4. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until the caramel is mostly set.

Step 3: Add the Chocolate

1. Melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil until smooth.
2. Stir in the extra crispy rice cereal if using.
3. Spread the chocolate over the caramel layer.
4. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.

Step 4: Chill

• Refrigerate for 1–2 hours, or until completely firm.
• Lift the bars from the pan and cut into squares or rectangles.

Tips

• For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
• Add chopped roasted peanuts, almonds, or pecans for extra crunch.
• Drizzle white chocolate over the top for a decorative finish.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for up to three months.

These bars have a buttery crunchy base, a soft and chewy caramel center, and a smooth chocolate topping, making them perfect for dessert, parties, or gifting.
