Chocolate Caramel Toffee Bars

Sometimes you come across a treat that is so yummy and loaded with all of the dessert food groups, just reading through the recipe can clog arteries…this is that dessert. A few weeks ago we spent a weekend at Bear Lake with friends and Suzzanne shared this with us. This weekend I made them to share with my siblings. A fair word of warning, these are not for the weak at heart. Chocolate Toffee Caramel Bars

1 pkg. yellow cake mix (get the butter recipe kind)
1/2 c. oil
2 eggs
12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 c. white chocolate chips
12 oz. chocolate covered toffee pieces (Heath sells these in bags by the chocolate chips)
1/2 c. butter
30 caramels
1 can sweetened condensed milk

Preheat oven to 325. Grease 9x13 pan. Mix cake mix, oil, eggs and add both chips and toffee.
Press 1/2 of mixture into the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and heat oven to 350. Meanwhile, unwrap caramels and melt together with butter and sweetened condensed milk.
Pour over top of partially cooked cake.
Spoon the rest of the cake batter on top. Bake for 22 minutes. Remove from oven and run knife around edges so caramel doesn't stick. Cool on cabinet for 40 minutes and move to fridge for at least 1 hour. Cut (I’d recommend small pieces) and serve.
