Salted Caramel Crackle

Step 6: Finish the Caramel Sauce

Slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking constantly. The mixture will bubble vigorously at first. Once smooth, stir in the sea salt and remove from the heat.

Step 7: Layer the Caramel

Pour the warm caramel over the prepared base and spread it evenly. Allow it to cool for 10–15 minutes before adding the next layer.

Step 8: Melt the Chocolate

Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in short intervals, stirring between each one, until completely melted and smooth.

Step 9: Add the Topping

Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the caramel layer. If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts over the chocolate while it is still soft. Finish with a light sprinkle of sea salt.

Step 10: Chill

Refrigerate the dessert for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is firm and the caramel has set.

Step 11: Slice and Serve

Lift the chilled dessert from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into squares or bars. Serve cold for the best texture.

Serving Suggestion

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The bars stay firm, flavorful, and ready to enjoy whenever a sweet craving strikes.
