Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form a solid base.
In another bowl, mix together the lightly crushed corn flakes and sweetened shredded coconut. Once combined, spread this mixture evenly over the Oreo base, pressing down gently to secure it in place.
Pour the salted caramel sauce evenly over the corn flakes and coconut layer. Use a spatula to spread it out if needed, ensuring every bite is filled with that gooey goodness.
In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel layer, creating a beautiful, decadent finish.
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate for an extra flavor boost. This step is optional but highly recommended for those who enjoy a sweet and salty contrast.
Bake the bars in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t overbake.
Once out of the oven, allow the bars to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes. Use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the pan, and then let them cool completely on a wire rack before cutting them into squares.
