Decadent peanut butter bars made with cracker crumbs are oozing with rich caramel and chocolate! Caramel Cracker Bars are just the treat to bring a little bit of sweetness to your day.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 1 box Club crackers
  • 1 cup butterscotch morsels
  • 1 cup semi-sweet morsels
  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions

  1. In saucepan, heat graham cracker crumbs, sugars, butter and milk. Bring to a boil and continue stirring while boiling for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  2. In foil lined (and buttered) 13x9 baking dish, layer crackers over bottom. Pour half of caramel mixture over club crackers, then lay another layer of club crackers over caramel mixture, and remaining caramel. Repeat with one more layer of club crackers. Refrigerate while continuing with next step in recipe.
  3. In small saucepan, melt butterscotch and semi sweet morsels with peanut butter. Stir until smooth and creamy. Pour over crackers, refrigerate 4 hours or over night.
  4. Cut into bite size pieces and enjoy cold!

Notes

  • Make your own graham cracker crumbs by pulsing whole Graham crackers in a food processor to form sand-like crumbs.
  • Store these caramel dessert bars in the fridge in an airtight containers. They can soften quickly at room temperature so I prefer to eat them cold!
  • These treats freeze beautifully, too! After cutting into pieces, transfer to a freezer-safe container with wax paper between each layer of bars to keep them from sticking. Let thaw in the fridge when ready to serve.
