Salted Caramel Ritz Bars
Description
This dessert starts by grinding Ritz crackers into fine crumbs, which are mixed with sweetened condensed milk and pressed into a baking dish to form a crust. The crust is baked briefly to set and slightly crisp. While baking, caramel candies are melted with heavy whipping cream to create a smooth caramel sauce. This sauce is poured over the warm crust and sprinkled with flaky sea salt to enhance the flavor contrast. Chocolate chips are then sprinkled on top and allowed to melt, after which they are spread evenly and chilled until firm. The resulting bars combine buttery, sweet, salty, crisp, and creamy elements in a layered treat.
The baking step ensures the crust holds together, while the chilled chocolate layer adds a firm texture that contrasts with the soft caramel and crunchy crackers. These bars are sliced and served cold, making a decadent snack or dessert.
