Caramel Chocolate Crunch Bars

Delicious bars with a buttery crust, a layer of gooey caramels, and a topping of chocolate and crushed candy bars for a sweet and crunchy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 15 caramel squares, unwrapped
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped Crunch bars

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in flour, baking powder, and salt until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press half of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
  4. Remove from oven and sprinkle caramels evenly over the crust. Return to oven for 5 minutes, or until caramels are soft.
  5. Remove from oven and spread caramels gently over the crust. Sprinkle chocolate chips and chopped Crunch bars over the caramels.
  6. Crumble the remaining crust mixture over the top. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. Cool completely before cutting into bars.

Notes

For best results, use fresh caramels and do not overbake. These bars are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature. Substitute any favorite candy bar for the Crunch bars if desired.
