Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup toffee bits
- ¾ cup caramel sauce (thick, not syrupy)
- Flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients until combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips and toffee bits.
- Press about two-thirds of the dough evenly into the prepared pan. Drizzle caramel sauce over the dough.
- Drop remaining dough in spoonfuls over caramel layer.
- Bake 30–35 minutes, until golden brown and center is set.
- Cool completely before slicing. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
Notes
- Use thick caramel sauce to prevent excessive spreading.
- For extra gooey bars, slightly underbake and allow to set while cooling.
