Salted Caramel Chocolate Oreo Bars are a chocolate caramel dream, made with just 5 ingredients and they’re no bake!
The Salted Caramel Chocolate Oreo Bars came about pretty honestly. I had friends coming over for a football game and we needed a dessert. I wanted something chocolatey because my friends LOVE chocolate but I am all about salted caramel these days. I was thinking of making a salted caramel no bake cheesecake tart but when I went to open my giant container of cream cheese I found mold in it! (I only bought it a week ago, boo!) So cheescake all of a sudden was not in the cards.
Enter Salted Caramel Chocolate Oreo Bars. I made the Oreo crust the same way I would for a cheesecake, added the Caramel Sauce from my Ice Cream Burger and covered it in bittersweet chocolate ganache with a sprinkle of Fleur de Sel salt. Sounds complicated right? Nope.
Using a food processor pulverize your Oreo cookies until they are crumbs. Into the top of the food processor pour 1 melted stick of butter (8 tablespoons). Press into the bottom of your springform pan or tart pan. I used a tart pan so it was easy to remove but in hindsight if I had spare time I would make it in a square pan, freeze, remove and cut into perfect squares while frozen.
Put the pan in the freezer while you make the caramel sauce. Add last stick of butter to a saucepan with the brown sugar. Melt them together and let them boil vigorously for a minute. Turn off the heat and add 1/4 cup of heavy cream and whisk it together. Pour the caramel onto the frozen pie crust and tilt the pan to cover the crust.
Now my favorite part! In a microwave safe bowl add your chocolate chips and a half a cup of whipping cream. Microwave for one minute.
Let sit for 3 minutes undisturbed then mix until smooth. PURE MAGIC! Pour over the caramel sauce and spread with a spatula. Keep in the refrigerator until ready to serve. 
Sprinkle the top of the Salted Caramel Chocolate Oreo Bars with flaked sea salt, I love Maldon. I used the round plate because it would be easy to remove but in a perfect world I would’ve had a square tart pan. It worked out well, I kept the edges for myself. 😉
