Trillionaire Bars
Description
The Trillionaire Bars start with a rich brownie layer made by combining melted butter, sugar, cocoa powder, eggs, and flour, baked until just set. On top, a creamy caramel layer is prepared by melting soft caramel candies with heavy cream until smooth, then chilled to set slightly. The top cookie dough layer is created by creaming butter and sugars, adding vanilla and cream, then mixing in flour, salt, chocolate chips, and oats for texture. After checking the caramel layer’s firmness, this cookie dough is spread over it evenly. The bars are finished with a chocolate glaze combining semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream, poured atop for a shiny coating. Once chilled and set, these bars present a dense, chewy, sweet treat with several flavor and texture layers.
