Question 1

1. Can I make Knock You Naked Bars ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

Yes! These bars actually taste better the next day as the flavors meld together. If making ahead, let them cool completely, store them in an airtight container, and keep them at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.

Question 2

2. What type of caramel should I use for the best results?

Accepted Answer

Soft caramel candies like Kraft work best. Avoid caramel syrup, as it’s too thin and won’t create the same thick, chewy layer. If you prefer homemade caramel, make sure it’s thick enough to hold its shape.

Question 3

3. What causes a pound cake to be heavy?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! While semi-sweet chocolate chips are the most common choice, you can substitute with:

Peanut butter chips for a nutty, salty-sweet contrast
Dark chocolate chips for a richer, slightly less sweet flavor.
White chocolate chips for a creamy, vanilla-like twist.

Question 4

4. How do I prevent Knock You Naked Bars from sticking to the pan?

Accepted Answer

Lining your baking dish with parchment paper is the best way to prevent sticking. It also makes removing and cutting the bars easier. If you don’t have parchment paper, make sure to grease the pan well with butter or non-stick spray.

Question 5

5. Can I make a gluten-free version of Knock You Naked Bars?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Simply swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free 1:1 baking flour blend. Also, check that your caramel and chocolate chips are labeled gluten-free.

Question 6

6. What’s the best way to cut these bars neatly?

Accepted Answer

Let them cool completely – Cutting them too soon will cause the caramel to ooze out.
Refrigerate before slicing – Chilling them for 30 minutes helps the layers set.
Use a sharp knife – Run it under hot water, dry it, and slice cleanly. Wipe the blade between cuts
