Preparation
  1. Begin by greasing a 9x9 inch baking pan or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.

  4. Add the chocolate chips over the caramel layer, spreading them evenly. If using, sprinkle the chopped nuts on top.
Baking
  1. Place the pan into a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is melted and slightly bubbly.
  2. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes.
  3. Once cool, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top, cut into bars and enjoy!
