Chocolate Caramel Cracker Bars
Chocolate Caramel Cracker Bars consist of layers of Club crackers alternated with a hot caramel mixture made from sweetened condensed milk, butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup. The bars are topped with semisweet chocolate chips melted into a smooth chocolate layer. Once chilled, they become firm bars with a balance of sweet caramel, crunchy salty crackers, and rich chocolate.
