Ingredients

  • For the crust:
  • - 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • - ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • For the filling:
  • - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • - 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • - 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • - ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • - 2 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur
  • - 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur
  • - 2 tablespoons butter
  • - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the ganache:
  • - 1 cup heavy cream
  • - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • - 2 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur
  • For garnish (optional):
  • - Chocolate shavings
  • - Whipped cream

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar for the crust. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, sweetened condensed milk, Irish cream liqueur, coffee liqueur, butter, and vanilla extract for the filling. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute, then stir. Continue heating and stirring in 30-second intervals until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour the filling mixture evenly over the crust in the baking pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
  6. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and Irish cream liqueur for the ganache. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  7. Pour the ganache over the cooled bars, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Allow the ganache to set for at least 1 hour.
  8. Once the ganache is set, cut the bars into squares or rectangles. Serve on a platter and garnish with chocolate shavings and whipped cream, if desired.
  9. Enjoy the rich and delicious B-52 bars!
