Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or almonds (optional)
  • 1 cup crushed candy canes

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Stir in the brown sugar and corn syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
  4. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  6. Pour half of the caramel mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the caramel layer.
  8. Pour the remaining caramel mixture over the chocolate chips.
  9. Immediately sprinkle the crushed candy canes over the top layer of caramel.
  10. If using, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the candy canes.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  12. Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • For easier crushing of candy canes, place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
  • Ensure the caramel is boiled for the full 5 minutes to achieve the right consistency.
  • Optional nuts add an extra layer of crunch and flavor.
