For a richer flavor, use salted butter in the crust. Toast the pecans and coconut before adding them to the bars for a more intense nutty flavor. Use a sharp knife and a gentle sawing motion to cut the cooled bars into clean squares. Store the Sweet Chocolate Caramel Squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a mixing bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, and brown sugar. Mix until a crumbly dough forms. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. (5 minutes)
03
StepBake the crust in the preheated oven until lightly golden brown. (12-15 minutes)
04
StepRemove the baking dish from the oven. Sprinkle the chopped pecans and flaked coconut evenly over the baked crust. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the pecan and coconut layer. (5 minutes)
05
StepReturn the baking dish to the oven and bake until the sweetened condensed milk is set and lightly golden. (25-30 minutes)
06
StepWhile the second layer bakes, prepare the caramel sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the unwrapped caramels and milk. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the caramels are completely melted and the sauce is smooth. (2-3 minutes)
07
StepRemove the baking dish from the oven. Pour the warm caramel sauce evenly over the baked sweetened condensed milk layer. Immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the caramel. (2 minutes)
08
StepAllow the bars to cool completely at room temperature before cutting into squares. This will allow the caramel and chocolate to set properly. (2 hours)
