chocomel sea salt bars

i have had a huge craving for smores lately. bought the graham crackers but not the marshmallows or the chocolate bars. i decided to make a sweet treat with what was on hand and did a little internet search with some ingredients. instead of following a recipe, i just got inspired and put my own twist on a couple of different ideas. below is what i made: graham crackers, caramel, chocolate, sea salt and dried coconut. they came out pretty tasty, so i thought it would be fun to share. (i don't think the dentist i saw today, would be happy with my post-visit-recipe...but the hubby was)...moral of the story = get creative!
line baking sheet with graham crackers

melt about one 3/4 cube of butter and (i think) equal parts brown sugar. (for true caramel you can add condensed milk, corn syrup and vanilla)

poor caramel-ish mixture of butter and sugar onto graham crackers and spread evenly
poor chocolate chips and let sit allowing them to melt, then smear
sprinkle sea salt and coconut (or if your prefer almonds or something crunchy)
allow to cool in the refrigerator, when hard, break and serve
