How to Make Salt River Bars
Line a 9 by 13 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving excess on the sides for easy removal. Spray both the parchment and sides with nonstick spray.
Place a layer of Club crackers at the bottom of the pan, trimming them as needed to fit.
In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed pan, melt together the butter, brown sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and heavy cream over medium heat. Stir constantly to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continuously for about 7 minutes.
Quickly pour half of the hot caramel mixture over the crackers and spread it evenly. Place another layer of crackers on top.
Pour the rest of the caramel mixture over the second layer of crackers. Add one last layer of crackers on top.
Refrigerate for about 1-2 hours to let the layers chill and set.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter. Heat for 30-45 seconds, then stir; repeat until smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the final layer of crackers and sprinkle with Maldon sea salt.
Once chilled, use a sharp knife to cut into bars, using parchment edges for removal.
