Tuesdays With Dorie: Caramel (Cookie) Crunch Bars

Today's TWD, Caramel Crunch Bars, was chosen by Whitney at What's Left On the Table. The little treats consist of a brown sugar shortbread crust, a bittersweet chocolate layer, and a toffee topping. The recipe calls for Heath Bar bits to cover the top, but since I was at a loss for toffee, I decided to crumble some cookies on the top instead. Hence, my Caramel Cookie Crunch Bars!

I made half of the recipe and came out with 12-16 (can't remember..) little bars. I used semi-sweet mini chips in the shortbread batter, and made the little cookie change I mentioned above. I couldn't believe how good they were- I have to hide them!

*Find the recipe here. Thanks, Whitney!
