Ingredients:
Base Layer:
1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers
½ cup melted butter
¼ cup sugar
½ cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
Caramel Layer:
1 cup caramel candies, melted
2 tbsp heavy cream
Creamy Layer:
1 ½ cups vanilla ice cream or cream cheese (softened)
¼ cup sugar
Topping:
1 ½ cups melted milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup chopped Snickers, Twix, or caramel-filled chocolates
¼ cup additional chopped nuts (optional)
Directions:
Prepare the Base Layer: In a medium bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, sugar, and chopped nuts. Mix until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9×9-inch baking dish to form an even layer.
Make the Caramel Layer: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the caramel candies with heavy cream, stirring until smooth. Pour the caramel mixture over the graham cracker base, spreading it evenly.
Prepare the Creamy Layer: In a separate bowl, mix the softened vanilla ice cream or cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture over the caramel layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Add the Topping: Pour the melted chocolate over the creamy layer, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the chopped Snickers, Twix, or caramel-filled chocolates on top, along with any additional chopped nuts if desired.
Chill and Set: Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Once set, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy these decadent, crunchy bars that are sure to be a hit!
