Ingredients:

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10-12 graham crackers)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Caramel Layer:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the Chocolate Layer:

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

For the Whipped Topping:

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well combined and resembles wet sand.
  • Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized dish to form an even crust.
  • Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until it’s lightly golden. Let it cool completely.

2. Make the Caramel Layer:

  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar and stir to combine.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and the caramel begins to thicken.
  • Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for another 1-2 minutes, until smooth.
  • Remove the caramel from the heat and let it cool slightly before pouring it over the cooled graham cracker crust. Spread it evenly using a spatula.
  • Refrigerate the dish for at least 30 minutes to allow the caramel layer to set.
