1-Getting started with caramel chocolate bars: is all about keeping things simple and fun. First, preheat your oven to 350°F and gather your ingredients to make the process smooth. This recipe takes about 20 minutes to prep and another 40 minutes to cook, giving you tasty bars in around one hour total.

2-Begin by mixing 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt in a bowl. Grate 12 tablespoons of frozen unsalted butter and blend it into the dry mix until37 you get coarse crumbs, then press this evenly into a 9×13 inch pan and bake for 15 minutes. Next, combine 3/4 cup quick oats and 3/4 cup shredded coconut, sprinkling it over the baked crust.

3-Stir 14 oz of sweetened condensed milk with 1 tablespoon vanilla extract and pour it evenly over the oats and coconut, making sure to cover the edges. Bake for about 25 minutes until the filling sets, then let it cool for 10 😊minutes. While it’s cooling, melt 40 vanilla caramels with 1/4 cup whole milk over medium-low heat, whisking until smooth, and pour this over the oat layer. Finally, sprinkle on 1 cup milk chocolate chips and some flaky sea salt, then let everything cool completely before cutting into bars.
