Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Arrange a rack at center position and preheat oven to 350. Grease an 8x8 square pan with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Make the crust: In a mixing bowl, cream butter with an electric mixer on medium speed, then beat in sugar and salt.
  3. Beat 1-2 minutes to blend well, then beat in the flour. Gather dough into a ball and place in mounds, about a teaspoon each, on the bottom of the pan.
  4. With your fingers, press to form a smooth, even layer. Poke the dough with a fork. Bake until it starts to color lightly, about 10-15 minutes more if needed.
  5. Remove the pan but keep the oven on at 350.
  6. Make the caramel layer by placing the butter and light brown sugar in a heavy medium saucepan over low-medium heat. Stir constantly with a whisk until sugar has dissolved.
  7. Add the sweetened condensed milk and salt, and whisking constantly, bring mixture to a slight simmer.
  8. Cook, whisking constantly and never letting mixture come to a boil, until it thickens and becomes a light caramel color, about 10 minutes.
  9. Pour caramel over the crust, smoothing into an even layer with a metal spatula or back of a knife.
  10. Return the pan oven and bake for 10 minutes.
  11. Remove and cool to room temperature. You can shut the oven off now.
  12. Place the chocolate and cream in a saucepan over low-medium heat. Whisk constantly until the mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes.
  13. Cool 5 minutes, then pour the melted chocolate cream over the caramel layer and spread evenly with a metal spatula or back of a knife.
  14. Refridgerate until chocolate is set, about 30 minutes or longer.
  15. Run a sharp knife around inside edges of pan to loosen, and cut into 16 squares.
  16. Bars can made 2 days in advance; store in an airtight container at room temperature Can be served chilled or at room temperature.
