Ingredients

• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup mixed nuts (e.g. peanuts, almonds, cashews)
• 1/2 cup crispy rice cereal
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Prepare an 8x8-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until fully melted and smooth.
3. Pour half of the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
4. Place the dish in the refrigerator to set the chocolate for about 10 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the caramels are melted and the mixture is smooth.
6. Remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and spread the melted caramel mixture over the set chocolate layer.
7. Sprinkle the mixed nuts and crispy rice cereal evenly over the caramel layer.
8. In a separate bowl, mix the remaining melted chocolate along with vanilla extract and salt. Stir until well combined.
9. Pour the chocolate mixture over the nut and cereal layer, spreading it out to cover the top.
10. Place the baking dish back in the refrigerator and let it set for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
11. Once set, remove the Chompo Bars from the baking dish by lifting the parchment paper.
12. Cut them into bars or squares of desired size and serve.
13. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
