Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 cups chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 20 pieces caramel candies, unwrapped
- 1 cup mini chocolate candy bars, chopped
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, melted butter, and peanut butter. Mix until well combined.
Firmly press the mixture into the prepared baking dish to form an even base layer. Place in the refrigerator while preparing the topping.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the chilled base layer and spread evenly with a spatula. Return to the refrigerator to set for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt the caramel candies in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 15 seconds, until smooth. Drizzle the caramel over the chocolate layer.
Sprinkle the chopped mini chocolate candy bars evenly over the top of the caramel layer, gently pressing them into the surface so they adhere.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until completely set.
Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the Candy Bar Squares out of the pan and place on a cutting board. Slice into 16 squares and serve.
