Description
Knock You Naked Bars are a chewy, gooey dessert filled with chocolate chips, a luscious caramel layer, and a soft, cookie-like base. Perfect for any indulgent occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 5 oz evaporated milk
- 1 (14 oz) bag caramels
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Spread half of the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, then remove from oven.
- Meanwhile, melt caramels and evaporated milk together in a double boiler. Once smooth, stir in the peanut butter and mix until well combined.
- Pour the caramel mixture over the partially baked cookie base.
- Drop remaining cookie dough by spoonfuls over the caramel layer.
- Return to the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the top is light golden brown.
- Let cool completely before slicing into bars.
Notes
- Ensure the bars cool completely to allow the caramel to set before slicing.
- These bars can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Microwave a single bar for a few seconds for that fresh-out-of-the-oven gooeyness.
