Caramel Crunch Bars

Yield: 24 Bars (9X13-inch pan)

Prep Time: 1 10

Cook Time: 8

Total Time: 1 18

Ingredients

80 club crackers, I used multi-grain
1 cup (227 g) butter
2 cups (200 g) graham cracker crumbs
1 cup (212 g) firmly packed brown sugar
½ cup milk
⅓ cup (71 g) sugar
⅔ cup (170 g) creamy peanut butter
½ cup (85 g) semisweet chocolate morsels
½ cup (85 g) butterscotch morsels

Instructions

Line an ungreased 9X13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an extension of foil on either end. Line the foil with 1 layer of club crackers, cutting to fit if necessary (in my 9X13-inch pan, the crackers lined up evenly without the need to trim).
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, milk and sugar.
Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. (Begin timing 5 minutes from when you see the first bubbles.)
Remove from heat and spread half of butter mixture evenly over crackers. Place another single layer of crackers evenly over butter mixture, cutting to fit if necessary. Spread remaining butter mixture evenly over crackers. Top evenly with remaining crackers.
In a small saucepan (or in the microwave), combine peanut butter, chocolate morsels, and butterscotch morsels. Melt over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Spread evenly over top of crackers.
Cover, and chill for at least 1 hour. Lift foil overhang and remove bars from pan. Cut into bars. Store in the refrigerator.
