Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (11 ounce) package Kraft caramels (unwrapped)
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups mini semi sweet chocolate chips
3 (1.55 ounce) Hershey bars (broken into pieces)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Make the caramel by adding unwrapped caramels and cream into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave at 20 second intervals stirring until all are melted and smooth. Set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir often until it becomes brown in color, about 6 minutes. It will start to foam, then reduce down and then start to foam again.
  • When it starts to brown, stir constantly so it doesn't burn. When it's done the foam is light brown. Remove from heat and let cool for about 5-7 minutes.
  • Once cool, pour butter into a large mixing bowl.
  • Add sugar and brown sugar and mix with a hand mixer on low speed until combined. Set aside for a few minutes.
  • In a medium bowl combine flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • Add eggs into the cooked butter mixture and mix on low setting or by hand. Add in vanilla to the mixture.
  • Add flour mixture with the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Grease a 9 x 13 inch pan with non stick cooking spray.
  • Press half of the cookie dough into the prepared pan.
  • Go up the sides of the pan about 1/4 -1/2 inch. Spread and pat down the dough with hands until bottom of pan is completely covered.
  • Pour the caramel mixture over the cookie dough. Place the Hershey bar pieces over the caramel layer.
  • Place flattened pieces of the remaining cookie dough all over the chocolate pieces until mostly covered. (there will be spots that aren't covered).
  • Bake for about 30 minutes until golden brown.
  • Cool and slice into bars.
