Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Sharp knife
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt plus more for sprinkling
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, melt the granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk until it turns into a smooth, amber-colored liquid.
  • Add the 1/2 cup of unsalted butter to the sugar, whisking until fully combined.
  • Slowly pour in the heavy cream while continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. Remove from heat and let the caramel cool slightly.
  • Make the Graham Cracker Base:
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the 1/2 cup of unsalted butter.
  • Combine the melted butter with the graham cracker crumbs, stirring until evenly mixed.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and press the graham cracker mixture into an even layer on the sheet.
  • Pour the slightly cooled caramel over the graham cracker base, spreading it out evenly with a spoon.
  • Add the Chocolate Topping:
  • In the microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  • Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer, spreading it evenly with a spoon.
  • Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top of the chocolate.
  • Chill and Cut:
  • Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours, or until the caramel and chocolate layers are firm.
  • Once firm, remove from the refrigerator and cut into bite-sized squares using a sharp knife.
