Inside of the Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Caramel Pecan Cookies.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

What a great surprise when you bite into these scrumptious cookies. The combination of chocolate chips, peanut butter, caramel, and pecan makes a delicious cookie. They're a dense chocolate cookie with a prevalent peanut butter flavor. The chocolate caramel candy in the middle is gooey and delicious.
