Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 1/2 cups packed dark-brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup miniature marshmallows
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup white chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup toffee chips
- 18 soft caramel-candy cubes, coarsely chopped
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Line with parchment paper, allowing a 2-inch overhang on the longer sides. Brush parchment with butter (not overhang).
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix butter and brown sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla; mix until well combined. Mix in flour mixture until combined. Fold in half of each of the marshmallows, chocolates, toffee chips, and caramels.
Spread batter in prepared pan. Scatter remaining marshmallows, chocolates, butterscotch chips, and caramels on top. Bake until top is golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Lift out of pan, and transfer to a baking sheet. Refrigerate until set, at least 30 minutes.
Remove parchment, and cut into about 16 triangles. Bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.
Cook's Notes
The bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
Variations
Substitute toffee chips with butterscotch chips.

I made these for my boyfriend's father years ago for Christmas and he drops hints about them every year just in case I forget. He loves caramel and butterscotch. I love marshmallows so I add more of those. I do not like a crunchy texture so the softness of these were perfect for me.

Thanks to everyone's comments, I made the following modifications and baked them in cupcake liners. Turned out as easy breakfast cookie bars. Smell great too.
1) add one teaspoon of ground instant coffee and quarter to half teaspoon of ground cinnamon to batter, cut salt to 1/4 tsp
2) just 1/4 cup semi sweet chips, 1/4 cup peanut butter chip - none on topping
3) 3 little pieces of Werther's caramel and 3 little pieces of pretzels at the top
4) option to add whole oats to batter

This recipe was disappointing. I was expecting more texture. All of it was soft and sweet. I thought there might be some crunch from the toffee bits. I should have added pecans.

These are easy and incredibly delicious. I did however find it to be an overload of sugary ingredients (my teeth were shivering), so I left out the caramels and toffee chips and they turned out amazing! It's great that you can add in (or take out) anything you want!

These are so easy and so versatile. I never add butterscotch chips and normally add peanut butter cups and chopped chocolate and large marshmallows instead of chocolate chips and small marshmallows.

I make these all the time, but I leave out the caramels. Also, it's a great base, so it's easy to substitute things to make them not as rich.

I made these and substituted the butterscotch chips for pecans. I also cut back on the chips. These are yummy, next time I'll try liquid caramel, it was a MAJOR pain, cutting the caramels.

These were incredible!!!! I ended up having to bake mine for 45 minutes and did not use the caramel cubes. Instead, I drizzled some caramel sauce (I used Smucker's ice cream topping) on top of the unbaked bars before layering on all of the other toppings. This gave the bars a nice caramel flavor without making them difficult to chew.

I liked how quick and easy this recipe was. I baked these bars for my team at work who loved them! I left out the marshmallows. Mine were slightly over-baked at 35 min. FYI. So just check your oven since times always vary.

These are crazy good! But very, very sweet as you could probably guess by the ingredients. I used the Werthers Chewy Caramels as someone had suggested on here and they were really good. The ultimate bar recipe!! Perfect for potlucks and picnics.

I made these and I used Valrhona chocolate, homemade caramels, hand churned butter, Madagascar vanilla, and sea salt that I made myself and they turned out FABULOUS! My friends and family raved about what an amazing baker I am and this post is just to brag about it. Ha ha ha ha ha! Seriously, these look awesome and I can't wait to make them. I may cut back a bit on the caramel as advised by the other posters. It seems like a lot, plus I can eat the caramels I don't use in the recipe

I have been making these for a while - she had them in a magazine over a year ago - and I LOVE them. I recently found bags of caramel "drops" intended for melting, which I think would work great in this recipe. The bars are VERY rich, so you will need a glass of milk! First couple of times I made them, my boys wouldn't try them, but this last time, they finished them off. Girlfriends love them, of course. I don't do the parchment paper, and they come out fine as long as I greased the pan well.

Anyone can look at the ingredients and know if you are concerned about calories move on. Do you really need the calories listed? It sounds like a great cookie that many people have made and enjoyed. If calories are a concern make them, eat one, and pass the rest on to a friend.

This is one of those great basic recipes that can be altered easily to suit anyone's taste. We don't care for butterscotch, so I used peanut-butter chips, chocolate chips, marshmallows and chopped walnuts. Left out the caramels, based on other's comments. Good thing I made a double batch! Took them on our family camp-out, and they disappeared the first night! Too bad... would have been a good high-energy snack on the next day's long hike.

We liked it. But based on others comments I made changes. I used light brown rather than dark brown sugar because it's all I had; that might have helped with the richness. I also used only 1/2 cup of the butterscotch chips; and only 4oz bars of the white and semisweet chocolate. I used half of the carmels inside the bar only and would omit them the next time. They don't add much flavor and not only are they chewy, but sticky and hard to eat.

Update: I needed to bring something to a knitting party today. Since I had leftover ingredients and frankly wasn't too crazy about these the first time around, I thought they'd be perfect (I just started a diet). Well, fortunately (unfortuanately for my diet) omitting the caramels improved these 100% in my opinion. They are still mighty rich, but delicious. I also omitted the marshmallows.

Not that this will come as a surprise based on the ingredients list, but these are extremely rich. I honestly found them to be a bit much, and I didn't add the marshmallows!! I made these for a get together with friends and the kids didn't seem to like them. If I do make these again, I will also omit the caramels, which were too chewy.

Instead of the traditional wrapped caramels, try using Werther's Chewy Caramels. Cut them into halves or thirds. I think these are terrific in this recipe which is one of the best out there.

This turned out all right. Everything was ok except for the caramel. I wasn't sure what kind of caramel to use, so I bought caramel candy chews. After they cooked, they were hard as rocks, making it difficult to cut and very hard to eat. What kind of caramel did others use? Thanks.

Caramels sold out at Christmas in my small town so the hubby bought Werther's Chewy Caramels instead...they were actually better in this recipe than the regular ones. These are chewy and dense, loaded with goodies, and freeze well!
