Caramel Cookie Cheesecake Bars

INGREDIENTS 1 box (12.5 oz) Betty Crocker Hershey’s Chocolate Chunk cookie mix 1/3 cup butter, softened 3 tablespoons water 1/2 cup toffee pieces, divided 8 oz cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup sugar 1 egg 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 5.5 oz caramels 1/4 cup evaporated milk

You’ll start with the cookie layer. Combine the cookie mix with the butter and some water. Then stir in some of the toffee pieces. Press 2/3 of the dough into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish, and bake it for 10 minutes.

Once the cookie layer has cooled for a few minutes, top it with the cheesecake layer which is made of cream cheese, sugar, an egg and vanilla. Break up the remaining dough and sprinkle it over the top of the cheesecake mixture. Bake until cooked through, then cool the bars completely.

When the bars are cool, make the caramel by melting the caramel candies with evaporated milk. Pour the mixture over the bars.

Sprinkle the remaining toffee bits over the caramel, then refrigerate until the caramel has set up. Or get impatient like me and cut into them while the caramel is still a bit runny. Either way, these still taste amazing, and are the perfect treat if you are looking to splurge!

Hope you love these! Have fun and thanks for looking!
