Steps

  1. Cookie Dough Base – Mix all base ingredients in a bowl or food processor until a dough forms. Add a splash of milk if needed – it should be firm, not sticky. Press into a lined loaf pan.⁠

  2. Caramel Layer – In the same bowl, mix caramel ingredients until smooth. Spread over the base and freeze for 30 mins until set.⁠

  3. Chocolate Topping – Melt chocolate in the microwave (20-second bursts) or over a double boiler. Pour over caramel layer and spread evenly. Freeze for 3–4 hours before slicing into bars. Enjoy!
