Brownie Cookie Caramel Bars

A few months ago, when I was clicking through the blog hop on a Secret Recipe Club reveal day, I stumbled upon this decedent dessert. The recipe I saw was on A Bountiful Kitchen but is originally seen on Betcha Can’t Eat Just One. I bow my head to both of these ladies for sharing this amazing creation with the food world. 

I stopped and stared at the first picture… It had a layers upon layers of deliciousness. Chocolate chip cookie dough topped with Oreo’s, caramel sauce and brownie batter baked in to a bar of perfection? Sign me up! There isn’t much more you can ask for from a dessert.

Every day I find multiple new things to add to the list. The problem with a list that is always changing is I never know what I need. So it’s rare that I have all the ingredients for a recipe, unless I just went to the grocery store. But one day when I was distracted by the Internet, I read a recipe for banana bread pudding that sounded to die for. And I had all the ingredients I needed!
