Chocolate and caramel has to be one of my all-time favorite flavor combinations. There’s just nothing like the silky, creamy texture of rich caramel and when combined with the smooth, decadent flavor of chocolate – wowza! It’s like a flavor explosion in your mouth.

There’s always a wow factor to desserts with both chocolate and caramel and this layered dessert is no exception.

I took my Grandma’s famous 4-layer dessert and added a layer of decadent caramel right on top of the nutty crust. I never knew that this dessert was missing anything until this moment.
