They are rich and can be whipped up in a jiffy too so they're perfect for company
or a make and take. | HostessAtHeart.comThis time of year those of us that love to
cook and bake are the busiest of bees in our planning and cooking. I’m always on
the lookout for dishes that don’t take a lot of time to put together, are easy to
make and take, and that I think will appeal to everyone. For some reason (dessert
addict) it’s usually requested that I make dessert for work parties, holiday
gatherings or potlucks.

Exchange arrived just in time. The Freaky Friday blog hop is a group of bloggers
that are secretly assigned each others’ blogs from which we choose a recipe
appropriate for the theme. The blog that I was given was PicNic. The mastermind
behind PicNic is the amazing Nicole. When they coined the phrase beauty and
brains, they showed a picture of Nicole. Nicole has her Ph.D. in Molecular
Neuroscience and loves teaching. She also loves being a wife and mother to a
little boy and they live in New Zealand!

Freaky Friday Virtual Holiday Cookie ExchangeThe hardest thing that I had to do was
decide on one recipe from her blog. I first thought I wanted to make her Double
Chocolate and Salted Caramel Muffins and then thinking I should look at something
that I can make and take it like her Almond Butter Cookies. Then I stumbled, well
fell hard, when I saw these Triple Chocolate Caramel Cookie Bars.

my household. They were everything that appeals to us and I just loved how easy
they were to put together. I had everything that I needed in my pantry and will
make sure that is always the case!

Course: Cookie, Dessert
Cuisine: American
Servings: 24 bars
Calories: 221 kcal
Hostess At Heart: Julie Menghini
Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
5 oz butter unsalted, softened
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup dark chocolate chips I used 60% cocoa
1/3 cup white chocolate chips
1/3 cup milk chocolate chips I used semi-sweet because that's what I had on hand
13 oz caramel sauce my jar was just a bit under 13 oz
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease or line a 9x13" pan.

In a medium-sized bowl whisk the flour, salt, and baking powder together.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter and brown sugar together. Mix
until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each
addition. Add vanilla and mix until combined.

With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Mix
until blended and then fold in the chocolate chips.

Press half of the batter into the bottom of the pan. Pour or spoon the caramel
sauce over the batter and then crumble the remaining batter over the caramel sauce.

Bake for 30 minutes. Allow to cool completely before cutting. I found that
chilling them helped with cutting these bars.

Store leftover bars in an airtight container. I also stored mine covered in the
refrigerator.

We’ve been noshing on these wonderful bars for 3 days. They are tender,
chocolatey, ooey and gooey. We’ve shared them with the neighbors and still have a
couple of rows that we’re savoring. I’ve stored them in the refrigerator which
makes them a little easier to cut. It doesn’t take them any time to warm up and
then pass the forks and watch them disappear!

Another beautiful bar recipe. You just posted one a bit ago right? I'd love to make
one of your bars to add to my Christmas baking list for when the family are here
for Christmas. They all look good, but perhaps a personal favorite of yours?
REPLY
Julie Menghini says

December 4, 2017 at 8:21 pm

Thank you, Loretta! I think the bars are less work than cookies and I've made this
particular one twice in 3 weeks and everyone has loved them. I really liked the
cheesecake ones as well so my sweet tooth would have trouble picking between them.
I have to start baking for Christmas. We don't eat as much as we used to but it's
nice to have a few of the traditional sweets. Unfortunately, it will be here before
I'm ready!

Triple chocolate and that lovely caramel oozing down the side of your bars has to
be a winner. I don't make bar cookies often and I think I should.
REPLY
Julie Menghini says

December 4, 2017 at 8:24 pm

Thank you, Judi. These bars are so easy to make that it has me wondering why I
don't make them more often too.
