Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup peanut butter chips
• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• 1 cup crushed pretzels
• 0.5 cup caramel sauce
• 1 bar (3.5 oz) milk chocolate bar, chopped
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, beat together the unsalted butter and both sugars (granulated and brown) until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to form the cookie dough base.

Step 5

Fold in 1 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 0.5 cup of the peanut butter chips into the dough.

Step 6

Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the cookie base is lightly golden and set. Remove from the oven but leave it on.

Step 8

While the cookie base is still warm, evenly sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, remaining 0.5 cup of peanut butter chips, mini marshmallows, and crushed pretzels on top.

Step 9

Drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the toppings.

Step 10

Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the marshmallows puff up and turn light golden brown.

Step 11

Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chopped milk chocolate bar over the top. Let it melt slightly, then use a spatula or back of a spoon to swirl the melted chocolate for an artistic finish.

Step 12

Allow the dessert to cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars or squares. Enjoy this indulgent treat!
