Caramel Cookie Bars from a Cake Mix image

Wow... everyone's going to love these. This cake is super rich. You taste chocolate, butterscotch, and nuts in every bite. It's chewy but a bit crunchy because of the nuts. The layer of caramel and icing top them wonderfully. It's a cross between toffee and fudge. We really loved the flavor of butterscotch and caramel in this...
