Ingredients
  

The Molten Caramel Center
  • 11 ounces caramels, unwrapped
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk, 1 can
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
The Cookie Dough Base
  • 2 ¼ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)
  • ¾ cup dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
The Oats & Baking Chips
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup caramel toffee chips
The Brownie Crown
  • 18.9 ounces premium brownie mix, 1 box
  • Eggs and oil, as required by box directions for fudgy texture

Method
 

Prep the Pan
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°.
  2. Coat a 10 x 15-inch shallow baking dish with vegetable oil spray.
  3. Lay a sheet of parchment paper into the dish, allowing the edges to overlap.
  4. Spray the parchment paper. (For mile high bars, use a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish.)
Melt the Caramel
  1. Place the caramels, 4 tablespoons butter and sweetened condensed milk into a saucepan over medium-low heat.
  2. Stir until the caramels are melted and the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes.
  3. Remove the pan from the heat.
Mix the Cookie Dough
  1. Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
  2. Use an electric mixer to combine 1 cup butter with the sugars until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Mix in the eggs and vanilla. Mix in the flour until just combined.
  4. Stir in the oats and chips.
The Brownie Preparation
  1. Prepare the brownie batter according to the fudge-like directions on the package.
Layer the Bars
  1. Spread the cookie dough batter over the bottom of the baking dish.
  2. Pour the melted caramel mixture over the dough.
  3. Pour the brownie batter over the caramel.
Bake & Cool
  1. Bake until the brownies begin to set, about 20 to 25 minutes. If you are using a glass baking dish, check the bars after 25 minutes.
  2. You may need 5 to 10 minutes additional baking time.
  3. Cool and cut into bars.
