Gather Your Ingredients
Before we get cooking, you’ll need to gather up some goodies. Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these indulgent squares:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup chocolate chips (milk or dark, your choice!)
- 1 cup caramel bits
- A sprinkle of salt (because life needs a little flavor!)
Time to Get Cooking!
Now that you’ve gathered everything you need, it’s showtime! Follow these easy instructions to create your Sweet Chocolate Caramel Squares:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Your future squares will thank you for this cozy environment.
- In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, sugar, and melted butter until you have a crumbly mixture. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9×9 inch baking pan. This will be your crusty base.
- In another bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and caramel bits. Pour this delightful mixture over the crust you just made!
- Go ahead and sprinkle a little salt on top because why not? Sweet and salty is the way to be!
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes. The edges should be slightly golden, and the filling should look like it’s bubbling with happiness.
- Once done, let it cool completely. Patience is a virtue – but we know it’s tough when these squares are calling your name!
- Cut into squares, serve, and enjoy the sweet symphony of chocolate and caramel dancing on your taste buds!
And there you have it! Now, go ahead, indulge in a piece (or two, or three) of your homemade Sweet Chocolate Caramel Squares. You deserve it!
