CHOCOLATE-CARAMEL CHEWS



Chocolate-Caramel Chews image

This comes from "The Joy of Cookies" by Sharon Tyler Herbst. Mixing is done in saucepans on the stove instead of using bowls. She describes it as having a brownie-like base with nutty caramel topping and a chocolate glaze. Half way between a candy and a cookies. Sounds yummy! Prep time and cook time are a guess and DO NOT include the various cooling times.

SALTED CASHEW & CARAMEL CHEWS image

Saw these in a magazine and started salivating! Only thing I would change is go from semi-sweet to milk chocolate, as that is my preference. Also, you could use regular salted butter if that's all you have and then skip the extra salt. Cashews will be plenty salty too. Recipe & photo: tasteofhome.com 10-17-14
