Ingredients
- 200g chocolate (milk or dark, chopped)
- 150g crackers or puff pastry sheets
- 200g caramel sauce or soft caramel candies melted
- Prepare the Base: Lay a single layer of crackers or pastry sheets evenly on the bottom of your dessert tray, ensuring they cover the entire surface for a solid base.
- Add the Caramel Layer: Pour or spread the caramel evenly over the cracker or pastry base, creating a smooth layer without gaps.
- Top with Chocolate: Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer evenly, spreading it with a spatula if needed.
- Chill to Set: Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate and caramel layers are firm and set.
- Serve: Once fully chilled, cut into squares or bars and serve cold for a delightful layered dessert experience.
Notes
- Use good quality chocolate for a richer flavor.
- If using puff pastry, lightly bake it beforehand for extra crispiness.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute caramel with a vegan caramel sauce and use dairy-free chocolate.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
