Ingredients:

¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups Biscoff cookie crum extractbs
1 cup packed light brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup light corn syrup or honey
½ cup sweetened condensed milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup Biscoff cookie spread
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Extra crushed Biscoff cookies for garnish (optional)

Biscoff Caramel Base

Preparing the Crust

First, let’s get our crust ready. Take a medium-sized mixing bowl and combine the 1 ½ cups of Biscoff rum extractkie crumbs with the ½ cup of softened unsalted butter. It’s important that the butter is softened, not melted, so it can prorum extractly coat the crumbs. Use a fork or your fingertips to mix them together until the mixture resembles damp sand and holds its shape when squeezed. This ensures a nice, cohesive base for our Biscoff caramel.
Next, press this mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8×8 inch baking pan that has been lined with parchment paper. Make sure to press it firmly, especially around the edges, to create a solid foundation. You can use the bottom of a glass or a measuring cup to help you get a smooth and even layer. Once pressed, place this pan in the refrigerator while you prepare the caramel filling. This chilling step will help the crust firm up.

Biscoff Caramel Filling

Making the Caramel

Now for the star of the show: the Biscoff caramel! In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the 1 cup of packed light brown sugar, the remaining ½ cup of softened unsalted butter, and the ¼ cup of light corn syrup (or honey, if you prefer). Stir these ingredients constantly until the butter is completely melted and the sugar has dissolved. You’re looking for a smooth, homogenous mixture. Be patient here; it’s crucial to avoid scorching the sugars.
Once the butter has melted and the sugar is dissolved, slowly pour in the ½ cup of sweetened condensed milk while continuously stirring. Continue to cook this mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 8-10 minutes. You’ll notice it starting to thicken and turn a beautiful caramel color. The goal is to reach the soft-ball stage, which is around 235-240°F (113-116°C) on a candy thermometer. If you don’t have a thermometer, you can test it by dropping a small amount of caramel into a glass of ice water; it should form a soft, pliable ball.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully stir in the ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract and the 1 cup of Biscoff cookie spread. Mix until the spread is completely melted and incorporated into the caramel, creating a wonderfully smooth and richly flavored Biscoff caramel. The consistency will be thick and luscious.

Chocolate Biscoff Topping

Creating the Chocolate Layer

To create the decadent chocolate topping, take the ½ cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and place them in a small, heatproof bowl. In a separate small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, gently heat the 2 tablespoons of heavy cream until it’s just simmering. Be careful not to boil it. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips. Let it sit for about 5 minutes without stirring to allow the heat to melt the chocolate.
After the 5 minutes, whisk the chocolate and cream together until you have a smooth, glossy ganache. If there are still a few unmelted chocolate bits, you can gently warm the bowl over a double boiler for a minute or two, stirring constantly, until fully smooth. This ganache will provide a lovely contrast to the caramel.

Assembly and Finishing Touches

Putting it all Together

Retrieve the chilled Biscoff crust from the refrigerator. Pour the warm, luscious Biscoff caramel filling evenly over the crust, spreading it to the edges with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon. Work quickly but gently to ensure an even layer.
Once the caramel is spread, carefully drizzle or spread the chocolate ganache over the caramel layer. You can create swirls with a toothpick or knife for a decorative effect, or simply spread it into an even layer.
If you’re using the optional garnish, sprinkle the extra crushed Biscoff cookies over the top of the chocolate layer while it’s still wet. This adds an extra burst of Biscoff flavor and a pleasing texture.
Finally, place the entire pan back into the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or until the Biscoff caramel is firm and set. This chilling time is crucial for achieving clean slices.
Once firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the entire slab out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into desired squares or bars. For the cleanest cuts, use a sharp knife that has been warmed slightly under hot water and dried. Enjoy your delightful Biscoff Caramel bars!
