Need a last-minute dessert that’s easy, gluten-free, and drenched in chocolate? You’re welcome. You can find prepared caramel sauce at most grocery stores – Trader Joe’s and Stonewall Kitchen are my favorite brands but it’s so worth it to make your own – only takes about 10 minutes. For a quick hack, you can also melt caramel candies in the microwave!

Ingredients
  

  • 24 ounces semisweet chocolate
  • 6 ounces pecan halves
  • 1 cup gluten-free shortbread cookies crushed
  • 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce DIY with this recipe from Sally’s Baking Addiction
  • Coarse sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Melt chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler.
  • While chocolate is melting, toast pecans in a dry pan over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes, just until fragrant (keep a close eye on them so they don’t burn).
  • Once the chocolate is melted, evenly spread on to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle with toasted pecans and shortbread cookies.
  • Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with 1 to 2 teaspoon of sea salt.
  • Allow to set until the chocolate is hardened. Pop in the fridge or freezer for faster setting. Once completely hardened, break into pieces.
