Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to set.
Add the Caramel Layer: Spread the caramel sauce evenly over the chilled crust. Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top, pressing them gently into the caramel.
Make the Chocolate Ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
Add the Chocolate Layer: Pour the chocolate ganache over the caramel and pecan layer, spreading it evenly.
Chill & Set: Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate layer is set.
Serve: Cut into squares and serve. Optionally, sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt for a sweet-and-salty contrast.
