Simple to make at home, Caramel Crunch Bars are a sweet no bake treat that is perfect for movie night!
There are few things our family enjoys more than cuddling up for a good ol’ movie night. We love watching many different kinds of movies, the kids particularly love animated ones. I was looking forward to watching the movie Inside Out because my kids had seen it in theaters with their grandparents, but my husband and I hadn’t seen it yet. I had, of course, heard all about it. What is it about kids and repeating everything they love about a movie they’ve seen only once? Anyhow, we grabbed the movie on a recent Target trip and we also picked up snacks because really, what is a movie night without something sweet and salty?!
What’s a Caramel Crunch Bar you ask? Layers of crisp, cracker-y goodness with caramel in between, all blanketed by a smooth chocolate peanut butter layer. Pure bliss. Best of all, it’s a no bake treat that takes about 20 minutes to put together and an hour to chill. Then you’re ready to slice and enjoy with your favorite movie night treats.
Everything I needed to make these bars was in the grocery section of my Target store. They come together in a few simple steps:
Line a 9×13 pan with foil, leave some overhanging the edges to make the bars easier to pull out later.
Use Market Pantry Light and Flaky Crackers to make the bottom layer.
In a saucepan, stir together butter, sugar, brown sugar, milk and graham cracker crumbs, bring to a boil. Stirring often, boil for 5 minutes.
Pour half of this caramel mixture over the bottom cracker layer. Top with another layer of crackers. Spread remaining caramel over this 2nd cracker layer. Top with a 3rd layer of crackers.
Melt chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and creamy peanut butter together in a small saucepan. Spread over the final layer of crackers and chill for 1 hour.
Easy enough. Just look at those lovely layers.
