Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent Chocolate Caramel Pecan Squares.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, blend together the flour, softened butter, and brown sugar until everything is well combined.
Step 3
This mixture will form the base of your delicious treat, so make sure it’s nice and smooth.
Step 4
Once mixed, gently press this buttery goodness evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, creating a solid foundation for your squares.
Step 5
Pop the dish into the preheated oven and let it bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust turns a lovely light golden brown.
Step 6
When the crust is ready, take it out of the oven and sprinkle the chopped pecans and flaked coconut generously over the top.
Step 7
This is where the magic begins! Next, pour the sweetened condensed milk over the pecans and coconut, spreading it out evenly to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
Step 8
Return the dish to the oven and let it bake for another 25 to 30 minutes, or until the mixture is set and slightly bubbly.
Step 9
While that’s baking, let’s make a luscious caramel sauce.
Step 10
In a small saucepan, combine the unwrapped caramels with 2 tablespoons of milk.
Step 11
Heat this mixture over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until it transforms into a smooth and creamy delight, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 12
Once your caramel is ready, pour it over the baked layer, spreading it evenly to create a rich topping.
Step 13
To finish it off, sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the warm caramel, allowing them to melt slightly into the mixture.
Step 14
Now, the hardest part—let the squares cool completely in the baking dish.
Step 15
This will help them set perfectly for cutting.
Step 16
Once cooled, slice them into bars and get ready to enjoy your scrumptious chocolate caramel pecan squares! Each bite is a delightful combination of flavors and textures that will surely impress your family and friends.
Step 17
Happy baking!.
