How to Make Chocolate Caramel Gooey Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup powdered sugar, and ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter. Mix until well combined.
  3. Press the crust mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  4. Microwave 1 cup caramel-flavored chocolate morsels, 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute on high.
  5. Stir. If the morsels are not completely melted, microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth.
  6. Pour the melted caramel mixture over the crust.
  7. Sprinkle ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts over the caramel layer. Top with the remaining ½ cup caramel-flavored chocolate morsels.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are bubbling and the center is set.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
  10. Serve warm or chilled with a scoop of dulce de leche ice cream or vanilla ice cream with a drizzle of caramel sauce and a sprinkle of pecans for an extra touch of decadence.
