Scale
Crust:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Filling:
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Topping:
- 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1/4 cup toffee bits (such as Heath bar pieces)
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce, for drizzling
- 1/4 cup chocolate sauce, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Make the crust – In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared dish.
- Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes, then let it cool slightly.
- Prepare the filling – Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust, followed by an even drizzle of caramel sauce. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top.
- Bake again for 12–15 minutes, until the chocolate chips are slightly melted. Let it cool completely.
- Add the topping – Once cooled, spread the whipped topping evenly over the bars. Sprinkle with toffee bits.
- Drizzle with caramel and chocolate sauce for the final touch.
- Chill for at least 1 hour before slicing into bars. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For a richer taste, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
- If you prefer homemade caramel, melt ½ cup butter with 1 cup brown sugar and ¼ cup heavy cream over low heat. Stir until thickened.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
