Caramel Cookie Bars from a Cake Mix image

Wow... everyone's going to love these. This cake is super rich. You taste chocolate, butterscotch, and nuts in every bite. It's chewy but a bit crunchy because of the nuts. The layer of caramel and icing top them wonderfully. It's a cross between toffee and fudge. We really loved the flavor of butterscotch and caramel in this...

I followed the recipe exactly but my cookie bars didn't turn out right. They were too dry and the caramel was too hard.

These bars were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them.

I'm not a huge fan of caramel, but these cookie bars were still really good. The cookie dough was nice and chewy and the caramel was not too sweet.

I've made these cookie bars several times and they always turn out great. They're so chewy and gooey, and the caramel is the perfect topping.
