Now that you’ve gathered your ingredients, here’s how to create these incredible Tahini Caramel Chocolate Bars:

1. Prepare the Baking Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.
2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth. Stir in sea salt.
3. Combine with the Baking Dish: Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Place in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to cool.
4. Mix Tahini Caramel Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine tahini, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, and sea salt. Stir until well combined and smooth.
5. Layer the Tahini Caramel: Once the chocolate layer has set, pour the tahini caramel mixture over the chocolate. Use a spatula to spread it evenly over the chocolate layer.
6. Return to Refrigerator: Place the dish back in the refrigerator for another 30-45 minutes to allow the caramel to firm up.
7. Top with Chocolate: After the tahini caramel has set, melt additional chocolate if desired and drizzle it on top. Add chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt as desired.
8. Final Chill: Return to the fridge for an additional 30 minutes to let the top layer set.
9. Slice and Serve: Once all layers are firm, use the parchment overhang to lift the bars from the dish. Cut into squares or rectangles as desired.

Following these steps ensures your Tahini Caramel Chocolate Bars turn out perfectly every time!
