Knock You Naked Bars Recipe
Ingredients
For the Bars:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
For the Caramel Sauce:
- 5 ounces evaporated milk
- 14 ounces caramels (1 bag)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
- Make Cookie Dough:
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Gradually blend in the flour mixture until just mixed.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Bake the First Layer:
- Spread half of the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until partially cooked.
- Prepare Caramel Sauce:
- While the first layer bakes, melt the caramels with evaporated milk in a double boiler over low heat.
- Once the caramels are melted, stir in the peanut butter until smooth
Assemble the Bars:
Remove the partially baked dough from the oven and pour the warm caramel sauce over it, spreading evenly.
Drop spoonfuls of the remaining cookie dough over the caramel layer. Don’t worry if there are gaps; the dough will spread during baking.
Bake Again:
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is light golden brown and the caramel is bubbly.
Cool and Serve:
Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This will allow the caramel layer to set, making the bars easier to handle.
