Ingredients

  • 32 caramel squares unwrapped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup butter melted
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8x8 pan (or you can line it with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easier removal).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter and brown sugar. Add flour, oats, and baking soda. Mix until combined.
  3. Divide the cookie mixture in half and pat half of the mix into the bottom of the 8x8 pan. Bake for 10 minutes and remove.
  4. While baking, combine the caramels and heavy cream and stir until completely smooth. Can also be melted in the microwave, just stir after every 30 seconds being careful not to let it burn.
  5. Remove pan from the oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over the crust. Pour caramel mixture over the chocolate chips and crumble remaining cookie dough on top.
  6. Return to oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the edges are lightly brown.
  7. Once removed from oven allow them to completely cool and the caramel to set up. The caramel is like molten caramel right out of the oven and you want to let it cool. You can speed up the cooling process by putting it in the fridge if needed.
