SALT RIVER BARS RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:
- Line 8 x 8" glass or metal baking pan with foil so that it's hanging over the edges of the pan. Lightly spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray or grease lightly with vegetable oil or butter. Place 15 Club crackers in the bottom of the pan (5 rows of 3) and sprinkle 1/3 cup of the peanut butter chips over the crackers (if a few more chips make their way into the pan, that's fine by us). Melt the butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until melted, bubbly around the edges, smooth and creamy (about 5 minutes). Pour 1/3 of this mixture over the crackers and peanut butter chips as evenly as possible. Then, add another layer of crackers, peanut butter chips and caramel on top. Then, another layer and then finish with a layer of crackers. Finally, melt the chocolate chips (again, we like to be generous with these chip measurements) in a bowl in the microwave with the vegetable oil, stirring in 30 second increments until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This will happen sooner than you think because the residual heat will melt chips that may not look melted. Anyhoo...spread this chocolate over the final cracker layer evenly. Allow the chocolate to cool ever-so-slightly then sprinkle the top with coarse sea salt. Place the pan in the fridge to let the chocolate start to set. After about 30 minutes, remove from the fridge and lightly cut through the chocolate to give you guidelines for where to cut later (and to make it easier to get through the hardened chocolate). Put the bars back in the fridge and allow to cool completely. Then, when cool, remove the foil and bars from the pan and cut completely through. We stored these bars in the fridge as well. Just an FYI. To keep the chocolate hard in the hot kitchen.
SALT RIVER BARS
A delightful treat of salty and sweet :) If you have a salty/sweet tooth like I do, this is a WONDERFUL treat with a slightly unexpected ingredient, club crackers! I found that following the recipe exact was a bit too sweet for my taste so I scaled back the amount of "caramel." Easy to adjust to your taste!

SALT RIVER BARS
Steps:
- Line an 8x8-inch pan with foil, allowing the edges to hang over the side, and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray. Place 15 crackers in the bottom of the pan (3 rows of 5). For three layers, divide the peanut butter chips into thirds and sprinkle 1/3 over the crackers. Melt butter and brown sugar in a pan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until bubbly and smooth and a creamy caramel color, about 4 minutes. Pour 1/3 of the caramel over the peanut butter chips and crackers, then add another layer of crackers, peanut butter chips, and caramel, then repeat again for the third layer, topping the last layer with crackers. Melt the chocolate chips and pour over the crackers, spreading evenly. Sprinkle coarse sea salt over the top. Allow chocolate to being setting up in refrigerator (about 20 minutes), then lightly cut through the partially-set chocolate (to make it easier to cut after it cools completely). Place bars back into the fridge. Once cooled completely, gently remove bars by lifting out foil. Cut accordingly and serve.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate chips: The better the chocolate chips, the better the cookies will be. Look for chocolate chips that are made with real cocoa butter and have a high cocoa content (at least 60%).
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at a moderate temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit) so that they have time to bake through without burning.
- Don't overbake the cookies: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until they are set and the edges are just starting to brown.
