Ingredients
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or hazelnuts)
- 1/2 cup crispy rice cereal
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine milk chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and melted.
- Create the First Layer: Pour half of the melted milk chocolate into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.
- Add the Crunch: In a separate bowl, mix the crispy rice cereal and chopped nuts together. Spread this mixture evenly over the set chocolate layer.
- Add Caramel: Drizzle the caramel sauce over the crunchy layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Top with Chocolate: Pour the remaining melted milk chocolate over the caramel layer, smoothing it out with a spatula. Refrigerate for another 15-20 minutes until fully set.
- Final Layer: Melt the dark chocolate chips and pour over the top layer. Spread evenly and refrigerate until firm.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, use the parchment paper to lift the candy bars out of the pan. Cut into squares or rectangles, and enjoy!
