Award-winning 2007 Recipe! Indulgent chocolate-caramel bar with a delightful crunch from pretzels and peanuts.
Ingredients:
  • 1 pouch (17.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 24 caramels, unwrapped
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
  • 60 small pretzel twists (2 cups)
  • 1 1/2 cups dry-roasted salted peanuts, chopped
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously spray a 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.
  • Combine the cookie base ingredients in a large bowl until a soft dough forms. Press the dough evenly onto the bottom of the pan and bake for 10 minutes.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan, warm the filling ingredients over medium-low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring continuously until the caramels have melted. Take off the heat.
  • Once the pan is out of the oven, firmly press the pretzels onto the partially baked base, allowing them to slightly overlap. Evenly scatter the chopped peanuts over the pretzels, then pour and spread the caramel filling on top.
  • Bake for an additional 20 minutes until the caramel filling is bubbling. Allow it to cool completely for about 2 hours.
  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate chips uncovered on High for 1 to 2 minutes until melted. Use a fork to drizzle the melted chocolate over the bars. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes until the chocolate sets. Cut into 8 rows by 4 rows to make bars. Store covered at room temperature.
