Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (12 oz / 340 g) chocolate chip cookie dough
- 35 caramels, unwrapped
- 1 tbsp evaporated milk
- 1 tbsp water
- ⅓ cup (75 g) unsalted butter
- 1 ¼ cups (250 g) white sugar
- ½ cup evaporated milk
- 1 jar (7 oz / 198 g) marshmallow cream
- ¼ cup (60 g) peanut butter
- 1 cup (170 g) semisweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup (60 ml) heavy whipping cream
- ¾ cup rice krispies cereal
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking pan to prevent ingredient adhesion and ensure smooth removal.
- Cookie Foundation: Press chocolate chip cookie dough uniformly across the pan’s base, creating a golden-brown foundation through baking at 350°F for 13-15 minutes.
- Caramel Construction: Transform caramels into a glossy mixture over medium heat, then cascade the molten liquid across the cooled cookie crust, freezing for 10 minutes to stabilize.
- Nougat Narrative: Melt butter, incorporate sugar and milk, bringing to a rolling boil. Simultaneously blend marshmallow cream and peanut butter, combining with the hot butter mixture to create a silky nougat filling. Spread evenly and freeze for 10 minutes.
- Chocolate Krispies Finale: Heat cream and pour over chocolate chips, stirring until achieving a velvety ganache. Fold in rice krispies, then distribute the mixture across the nougat layer.
- Chilling and Serving: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for 2 hours, allowing layers to harmonize. Before serving, permit bars to rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes, ensuring clean cuts and optimal texture.
Notes
- Prep Pan Perfectly: Grease thoroughly to prevent sticky layers and ensure easy bar removal.
- Cookie Base Matters: Bake until golden but not overdone; a consistent thickness guarantees even layering and texture.
- Caramel Consistency Key: Stir continuously while melting to achieve smooth, glossy caramel without burning.
- Cooling Crucial: Allow each layer to set and stabilize before adding the next, preventing ingredient bleeding and maintaining distinct flavor profiles.
