Step 2

Combine the graham cracker crumbs and butter until thoroughly combined. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.

Step 3

Sprinkle the cereal and chocolate chips over the crust.

Step 4

Combine the dulce de leche and water until smooth and pourable. Pour over the cereal and chocolate.

Step 5

Sprinkle the pecans evenly over the top of the dulce de leche. Press down lightly.

Step 6

Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is not quite set. Be sure not to overbake.

Step 7

Sprinkle with sea salt if you like. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into bars.**
