To make these caramel bars I started by pressing out some Pillsbury chocolate chip cookie dough in the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.

I baked the cookie dough until it was just starting to brown all across the top.

While the cookie base was baking I melted some butter in a large saucepan.

I added some Kraft caramels to the melted butter and stirred until the caramels were completely melted.

Then I removed the mixture from the heat and set it aside for a few minutes to cool slightly.

As the caramel cooled I stirred it occasionally to make sure all of the butter combined with the caramel as it thickened.

Then I poured the caramel over the baked cookie base and spread it out evenly.

I placed the pan in the fridge for about 15 minutes to let the caramel set.

Then I melted some butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips in a saucepan on the stove, stirring frequently.

Once the butter and chocolate were completely melted I poured the mixture over the caramel and spread it out evenly.

I returned the cookie bars to the fridge for about an hour to allow the chocolate to set before slicing the squares.

These chocolate caramel cookie bars are very similar to millionaire bars but with a chocolate chip cookie base instead of shortbread.
