"Caramel and chocolate are two of our favorite things here in the test kitchen. Chocolate cake with caramel icing, caramel bites with chocolate chips, we love 'em all.When brainstorming ideas for one of our recent $1,000 sweepstakes, the idea of a "million-dollar" recipe was bounced about. The happy result were these cookie bars, with rich shortbread crust and a golden, creamy caramel center, enrobed in milk chocolate. We decided to name them Thousand Dollar Bars ? so you can decide how many to have on your way to a million-dollar day!..."
