- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup toffee bits
- 1 (11 oz) bag caramel unwrapped

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

- Stir in half of the chocolate chips and half of the toffee bits into the dough.
- Press about ⅔ of the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine unwrapped caramels and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
- Pour the caramel mixture over the cookie dough layer, spreading evenly.
- Drop spoonfuls of the remaining cookie dough over the caramel, then sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips and toffee bits.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are set.
- Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting into squares.
