Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped pecans (toasted)
- Sea salt (for finishing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
- Cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3–5 minutes.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until combined, then evenly press this mixture into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges, then cool slightly.
- In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, heavy cream, and corn syrup over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then simmer for 5–7 minutes until thickened.
- Pour the caramel sauce over the baked base, spreading evenly. Allow it to set for about 30 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate chips until smooth, then pour over the caramel layer.
- Sprinkle the toasted pecans over the melted chocolate and dust with sea salt.
- Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm, then cut into squares to serve.
Notes
Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and watch the caramel closely while cooking to prevent bitterness.
