Ingredients
  

Biscuit Base
  • 10-12 pieces tea biscuits Use gluten-free if needed.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Margarine can be used as a dairy-free alternative.
Filling
  • 1 cup caramel Use homemade for richer flavor.
  • 1 cup roasted unsalted peanuts Can substitute with almonds or cashews.
Chocolate Coating
  • 8 ounces milk chocolate Dark chocolate works as an alternative.
  • 1 cup heavy cream Substitute with any type of cream.

Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • Food Processor
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Sharp knife
  • rectangular tray
  • Wire rack

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy cream over medium heat until it's just about to simmer; remove from heat once small bubbles form around the edges. Stir in 8 ounces of broken milk chocolate and mix until smooth.
  2. Crush 10–12 tea biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin with a zip-top bag. In a bowl, combine the crumbs with the cooled chocolate ganache and mix until coated. Press this mixture into a lined rectangular tray.
  3. In a mixing bowl, take 1 cup of chopped roasted unsalted peanuts and fold them into 1 cup of caramel until coated. Spread this filling evenly over the biscuit base.
  4. Chill the tray in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour until the bars are solid and hold their shape.
  5. Using a sharp knife dipped in warm water, cut the chilled bars into squares or rectangles. Wipe the knife clean for neat edges.
  6. Melt the remaining chocolate until smooth, then dip each bar until fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing them on a wire rack.
