Fancy Pants Bars

Chocolate Chip cookies, caramel, twix bars and chocolate...what could be a better combination?  The base of this bar is a simple chocolate chip cookie dough with twix bars added in.  Then a very easy microwave caramel layer is added over that.  Then is is topped with semi-sweet chocolate and a white chocolate drizzle.  They took a little over an hour to make 

including all the cooling time.  

 

Easy Peasy! 

These bars were made to brown nose the boss at work.  

And yes...it worked ;)  

Until next time!

Enjoy

Serves: 9 ( I got more than 9 servings out of mine...more like 12!)
Ingredients 1 cup butter, melted 1 cup brown sugar ½ cup sugar 2 eggs 1½ teaspoons vanilla 2 cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 12 snack-size Twix candy bars caramel ½ cup corn syrup ½ cup butter, melted ½ cup sugar ½ cup brown sugar ½ cup sweetened condensed milk ⅛ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla chocolate layer 1 cup white chocolate chips ¼ cup milk chocolate chips Instructions 1. Preheat oven to 350. Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with foil and spray with cooking spray. 2. In a large bowl combine butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and mix until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla and mix again until smooth. 3. Add flour and salt to wet ingredients and mix until just incorporated and dough comes together. Gently stir in semi-sweet chocolate chips. 4. Spread half of the batter in the bottom of your prepared pan. Gently press Twixes into the batter every 2 inches or so. Pour the rest of the batter over the Twixes and spread into an even layer. Bake for 30 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean besides a few crumbs. 5. Allow cookie layer to cool while you prepare the caramel. In a microwave safe bowl combine melted butter, corn syrup, sugar, brown sugar, condensed milk, and salt. Stir until smooth. 6. Place bowl in the microwave and microwave on high for 6 minutes and 30 seconds. (I recommend placing bowl on top of a microwave safe plate because it may bubble over the sides of the bowl.) Using hot pads, remove bowl from microwave and stir in vanilla. Pour caramel over baked cookie layer in the pan. 7. Chill for 30 minutes or until set. 8. In a microwave safe bowl melt white chocolate chips at half power for 2 minutes. Stir and return to microwave at half power for 20 seconds at a time until chocolate is melted (stir between each 20 seconds) Stir until smooth. Pour white chocolate over caramel layer. 9. Melt milk chocolate chips the same way you melted the white chocolate chips (may require a little less microwave time since there are less chips). Drizzle milk chocolate over white chocolate. 10. Chill until ready to serve. Cut into bars immediately before serving.
