Good morning and happy Wednesday! Today I want to share one of the most decadent desserts that I have eaten recently. I mentioned that one of my friends came over this weekend to watch Christmas movies and she decided that we just had to make this dessert. Well, if you show up with baking ingredients, I’m not going to fight ya!
We originally saw this recipe posted on Facebook in a Buzzfeed video. You can watch the 20 second version of the baking here. ๐
Ingredients
2 packages of break-apart chocolate chip cookie dough
1 bag of chocolate chips
1 bag of caramels
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350*F.
Take one pack of break apart cookie dough and flatten it out in a baking pan of your choice.
Unwrap the caramels in a separate dish. Melt the caramels in the microwave for 45 seconds. Then, pour the now liquid caramel on top of the cookie dough. Note: it can be difficult to spread out! It is most “spreadable” the moment it comes out of the microwave.
Add chocolate chips to your caramel layer.
Take the second pack of cookie dough and flatten it on top of the first three layers.
Bake at 350*F for 30 minutes! Note: check at 25 minutes. My edges (or crust) were a little more golden brown than I would have liked.
The video showed a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the “pie” or whatever you would like to call this dish, but we felt like it was delicious enough sans ice cream. ๐
A note about this dessert: it is best servedย warm.ย If you have leftovers (which you will), just pop a scoop in the microwave for a few seconds to soften it before eating.
I don’t even want to begin to guess the nutrition facts behind this dish, but I know that there is a 100% chance you will enjoy this if you make it! It was fun to finally see a video and put it into action. It’s like those pins we have on our boards on Pinterest that we NEVER do. Will I make this again? Possibly! It was fun to make for a random girls night and I’m sure those at your holiday parties this season would enjoy it, too. Even sharing it with a friend, my roommate, and her boyfriend, we still had leftovers, so it definitely makes a ton of dessert. You will have to let me know if you try it!
