CHOCOLATE CARAMEL BARS WITH SALTY SPRINKLE

“I blame these bars for my ever-tightening pants. I’ve never been able to refuse them because that squishy caramel filling floors me every time. I strew the top with toasted walnuts and salt flakes to balance its shocking sweetness. A little insider info regarding the base: use melted butter to bind it. It creates a perfectly crumbly cookie layer that’s a cinch to smooth evenly into the tin. There are a million ways to make these, but these are the best bars, bar none.”
