How to Make Chocolate Caramel Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the prepared pan.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Let cool completely in the pan.
  6. While the crust cools, prepare the caramel filling: In a medium saucepan, combine ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup light corn syrup, ¼ cup water, 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter, and ¼ cup heavy cream.
  7. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until thickened, stirring constantly.
  8. Pour the warm caramel filling evenly over the cooled crust.
  9. Melt 6 ounces of dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Spread evenly over the caramel.
  10. Refrigerate until the dark chocolate is set.
  11. Melt 3 ounces of white chocolate chips in the same manner. Drizzle over the set dark chocolate.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully set.
  13. Cut into squares using a pizza cutter for clean cuts and enjoy!
