These cookie bars are very rich and delicious. The good thing about that is that a little piece goes a long way so the recipe makes tons of bars! The caramel filling is absolutely heavenly! The chocolate cookie base is so delicious. The toffee bits are exactly what the bars needed. The creamy peanut butter tastes holds this bar together to make one of the most delicious dessert bars that I have ever made. This is the kind of dessert that instantly puts a smile on the faces of anyone. Whether you are having a bad day, busy with work, or just restless from the poor weather outside these cookie bars will make you feel like everything is just right!
