Ingredients
  

For the Base:

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup melted butter

For the Caramel Layer:

1 cup granulated sugar

6 tbsp unsalted butter

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/4 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Topping:

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 tbsp coconut oil (or butter)

A pinch of flaky sea salt for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

      - In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, rolled oats, cocoa powder, and brown sugar. Stir in the melted butter until everything is well combined.

        - Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 9x9-inch baking dish using a spatula. Bake for 10-12 minutes until set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

          Make the Caramel Layer:

            - In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and butter. Stir continuously until the mixture is melted and bubbly.

              - Gradually whisk in the heavy cream until smooth and let the mixture boil for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the sea salt and vanilla extract.

                - Pour the caramel over the cooled base, spreading it evenly. Let it sit at room temperature or refrigerate for about 30 minutes to set.

                  Prepare the Chocolate Topping:

                    - In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until melted and smooth.

                      - Pour the melted chocolate over the set caramel layer and spread evenly. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top for an extra flavor boost.

                        Chill and Serve:

                          - Refrigerate the entire dish for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate is fully set. Once firm, lift the bars out of the dish using the edges of the parchment paper (if lined) and cut into squares or rectangles.

                            - Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy your decadent Caramel Chocolate Crunch Bars!
