Ingredients

Custard Cream

For the Shortbread Crust:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Caramel Layer:

1 cup granulated sugar

6 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

For the Pecan Layer:

2 cups chopped pecans

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons butter, melted

For the Chocolate Topping:

8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/4 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.

Make the crust by combining flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add vanilla and mix until dough comes together.

Press dough evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and let cool slightly.

For caramel, heat sugar in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until melted and amber colored, about 8-10 minutes.

Carefully whisk in butter, then slowly add cream (mixture will bubble vigorously). Stir in vanilla and salt. Let cool for 5 minutes.

Pour caramel over baked crust and spread evenly. Let cool for 15 minutes.

Mix chopped pecans with brown sugar and melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over caramel layer.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until pecans are lightly toasted. Remove and cool completely.

For chocolate layer, heat cream and butter in small saucepan until just simmering. Pour over chocolate chips, let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Add vanilla.

Pour chocolate mixture over cooled bars and spread evenly. Sprinkle with sea salt.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until chocolate is set. Use parchment overhang to lift bars out of pan.

Cut into squares with a sharp knife, wiping blade between cuts. Serve at room temperature.
