Description
Indulge in the sweet bliss of Salted Caramel Magic Bars, a delightful dessert combining chocolate, butterscotch, and coconut with a touch of salted caramel.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup butter, melted (unsalted or salted)
- scant 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup butterscotch chips
- 10 Werther’s Original Soft Caramels, unwrapped
- 1 tablespoon half-and-half or cream
- ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut flakes, measured loosely
- about two-thirds of one 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray; set aside.
- In a large, microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and heat on high power to melt for about 1 minute.
- Add the graham crackers crumbs and toss lightly with a fork to coat crumbs evenly.
- Turn mixture out into the prepared pan, forming an even, smooth, flat crust layer.
- Evenly sprinkle with the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips; set aside.
- In a small saucepan, add the caramels and half-and-half. Heat over low heat to melt, whisking constantly until melted.
- Add the salt, stir to combine, and taste sauce, adjusting salt based on preference.
- Evenly drizzle the salted caramel over the chocolate and butterscotch chips.
- Evenly sprinkle the coconut over the caramel.
- Evenly drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over the coconut.
- Bake for about 22 to 25 minutes, or until lightly golden brown around edges and center is mostly set.
- Allow bars to cool in pan for at least 2 hours or overnight before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Keep an extremely close eye on bars in the final minutes of baking to prevent the coconut from burning.
- Bars firm up as they cool.
- Store airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
