Scale

For the Base:

  • 2 cups (about 200g) Marie biscuits, crushed into fine crumbs
  • 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter, melted
  • Pinch of salt

For the Caramel Layer:

  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream, at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons (43g) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup (140g) cashews, roughly chopped

For the Chocolate Topping:

 

  • 1 cup (170g) dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
  • Flake salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Line an 8×8 inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides.
  2. Make Base: Mix crushed Marie biscuits with melted butter and a pinch of salt. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Refrigerate while making caramel.
  3. Make Caramel: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt sugar, stirring constantly until it turns golden amber (5-7 minutes). Carefully add heavy cream (it will bubble). Stir until smooth. Add butter and sea salt, stirring until combined. Remove from heat.
  4. Add Cashews: Stir chopped cashews into the caramel. Pour over the chilled biscuit base and spread evenly.
  5. Melt Chocolate: Melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  6. Top with Chocolate: Pour melted chocolate over caramel layer and spread evenly. Sprinkle with flake salt if desired.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate for 2-3 hours until completely firm.
  8. Cut and Serve: Lift bars out using parchment overhang. Cut into squares with a sharp knife.
