INGREDIENTS
Bars:
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon salt
Caramel Sauce:
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 bag of 14-ounces caramels
5 ounces evaporated milk
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees. Ready a 9 x 13-inch pan. Grease and set aside.
Step 2: In a small bowl, mix the flour with baking soda and salt. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Then, add the eggs, a piece at a time, beating well after each addition. Next, slowly stir in the flour mixture and fold in the chocolate chips.
Step 3: Into the prepared pan, spread half of the cookie dough. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 8 to 10 minutes. Take the pan out of the oven when done.
Step 4: In the meantime, melt the caramels and evaporated milk in a double boiler. Once the caramels are melted, add the peanut butter and let it melt completely. Spread this over the cookie dough base.
Step 5: Drop the rest of the cookie dough by spoonfuls over the caramel mixture.
Step 6: Return to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown.
