Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 box Club Crackers Provides the crunchy texture that holds the layers together.
For the Caramel
  • 1 cup Caramel Homemade is best for structure.
For the Topping
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips Feel free to substitute dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • 1/2 cup Butterscotch Chips Optional to reduce for less sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup Peanut Butter Can substitute with almond butter or sunbutter for nut-free.
  • 1 teaspoon Maldon Sea Salt Enhances the overall flavor.

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • medium saucepan
  • microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by lining a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Evenly arrange a single layer of Club Crackers at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, butter, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until it begins to bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Pour half of your warm caramel evenly over the layer of Club Crackers, then place another layer of crackers on top, followed by the remaining caramel.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter. Microwave until melted and smooth, then spread on top.
  6. Sprinkle Maldon sea salt over the chocolate topping evenly.
  7. Refrigerate the assembled bars for at least 2 hours to set completely.
  8. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the chilled Salt River Bars into desired sizes and serve.
