Equipment

  • 1 12x15 sheet pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 cups semi sweet chocolate chips I also like dark 70% chocolate chips in these bars
  • 1 -11 ounce caramel bits
  • 1 cup heaping cup crushed pretzel pieces I prefer to use pretzel sticks, or traditional small pretzels, crush in plastic bag
  • 1/2 tsp course sea salt for topping warm bars

Instructions
 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, spray 12×15 baking sheet with non-stick baking spray.

  • Cream together butter, sugars, and vanilla until smooth and whipped.
  • Add eggs one at a time and mix until combined.
  • In a separate bowl measure out flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, mix until completely incorporated.
  • Add goodies -> chocolate chips, caramel bits, pretzel pieces, at this point my stand mixer gets really full, so don’t walk away from this you might come back to find dough all over your counter and floor! Spread dough into greased baking sheet, sprinkle a few granules of coarse sea salt evenly over the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Remove from oven to a wire rack allow to cool for 20 minutes before cutting into bars.
