Crust
1 C flour
1/3 C packed brown sugar
½ C softened butter
Caramel Mixture
10 Tbsp. butter
1/3 C packed brown sugar
Topping
1 C milk chocolate chips
1-1 ½ C toffee bits

Preheat oven to 350. Mix flour and brown sugar and cut in butter until fine crumbs form. Press evenly into ungreased 13x9x2 pan. Set aside.
Place 5 Tbsp. butter (1/3 C) and brown sugar in saucepan over medium heat. As butter begins to melt, stir vigorously until butter and sugar are blended. Add remaining five Tbsp. butter and continue to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to full rolling boil (will take about 4 minutes).
Drizzle hot caramel mixture evenly over cookie mix layer. Bake 16-18 minutes or until soft and bubbly. Do not over bake. Let cool 1 minute.
Sprinkle chocolate chips and toffee bits evenly over caramel layer. Cool until set.
