Here’s a simple, reliable Caramel Chocolate Crunch Bar recipe—no baking required and easy to customize.
🍫 Caramel Chocolate Crunch Bars
🧾 Ingredients
Base (Crunch layer)
- 2 cups crushed digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
- 1 cup crispy rice cereal (or cornflakes for extra crunch)
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Caramel layer
- 1 cup soft caramel candies or 1 cup homemade caramel sauce
- 2–3 tbsp milk or cream
Chocolate topping
- 200 g milk or dark chocolate (chopped or chips)
- 1 tbsp butter (for shine, optional)
Optional
- Sea salt (for salted caramel style)
- Chopped nuts (almonds, peanuts, or hazelnuts)
👨🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the base
Mix crushed biscuits, cereal, melted butter, and brown sugar until it looks like damp sand. Press firmly into a lined 8×8 inch tray. Chill for 15–20 minutes.
2. Make caramel layer
Melt caramel candies with milk/cream in a saucepan on low heat, stirring until smooth. Pour over the chilled base and spread evenly. Chill again for 15–20 minutes until slightly set.
3. Add chocolate layer
Melt chocolate with butter using a double boiler or microwave (short bursts). Pour over caramel and smooth the top.
4. Set
Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours until fully firm.
5. Slice
Cut into bars or squares using a warm knife for clean edges.
💡 Tips
- Add a pinch of salt on top for a salted caramel twist.
- For extra crunch, mix rice cereal into both base and caramel layer.
- Store in the fridge for up to 5–6 days.
If you want, I can also give you a no-caramel (cheat version) or a healthier high-protein version.
