Time 3h5m

Yield 72

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup baking cocoa
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 cups firm butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
1 bag (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups)
48 caramels
2 cans (14 oz each) sweetened condensed milk
1 bag (6 oz) semisweet chocolate chips (1 cup)
1 teaspoon shortening or vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil, leaving about 2 inches of foil hanging over sides of pan.
  • In large bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, cocoa and egg. Cut in 1 1/4 cups of the butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until crumbly. Stir in walnuts; reserve 3 cups of the crumb mixture. Press remaining mixture firmly in bottom of pan; sprinkle with 2 cups chocolate chips. Bake 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in heavy 2-quart saucepan, melt caramels with sweetened condensed milk and remaining 1/4 cup butter over low heat, stirring constantly. Pour over crust. Top with reserved crumb mixture. Bake about 20 minutes longer or until bubbly. Cool completely, about 2 hours.
  • In small microwavable bowl, microwave 1 cup chocolate chips and the shortening uncovered on High 1 to 3 minutes, stirring halfway through heating time, until melted and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over bars. For bars, cut into 12 rows by 6 rows.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bars didn't set properly. They were still gooey in the middle.

I think these bars would be better with a different type of chocolate. The chocolate I used was a little too bitter.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bars didn't turn out as good as I expected. They were a little dry.

These bars are a little too sweet for my taste, but they're still good.
