How to Make Milk Chocolate Caramel Bars
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup packed brown sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Reserve ⅔ cup of the crumb mixture. Press the remaining mixture firmly into an ungreased 9x9 inch square baking pan or 11x7 inch baking dish.
- In the same bowl, combine the reserved ⅔ cup flour mixture, 14 ounces caramel topping (such as caramel ice cream topping), 4 ounces cream cheese, softened, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 large egg.
- Mix with an electric mixer on low speed until just combined.
- Stir in ½ cup chopped nuts (optional).
- Pour the caramel mixture evenly over the crust.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Immediately sprinkle the bars with 1 cup of Hershey's milk chocolate bar, broken into small sections or milk chocolate morsels.
- Let the chocolate soften slightly, then spread it evenly over the top.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
