Chocolate Caramel Bars

Posted by The Country Gal - 20/12/08 at 10:12 pm

A foray into my recipe books for something new and different this Christmas yielded me this wonderful treat.
It just might be my new Christmas favorite! But with a layer of caramel and peanuts sandwiched between layers of chocolate…what’s not to love!

The only downside was the fact that I needed to use the double boiler for all three layers, so it needed to be washed each time.

But they are so yummy- it was well worth the trouble!

Chocolate Caramel Bars

Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips with a 1 tablespoon shortening in a double boiler over hot water.

Spread in a foil-lined 8-inch square dish. Chill until firm.

Melt 30 caramels with 3 tablespoons of butter in double boiler over boiling water. When melted, stir in 1 cup of chopped peanuts.

Spread over the chocolate layer and refrigerator 15 minutes or until partially set.

Melt another 1 cup of chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of shortening in double boiler over boiling water. Spread over caramel layer.

Chill until firm. Cut into small squares to serve.

Store well covered in the refrigerator.

Enjoy!
