Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup butter, softened

2-1/2 cups California walnut halves

25 caramels

1 tbsp 18% cream

3/4 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips 

Directions
  1. In medium bowl, mix together flour and sugar; blend in butter until crumbly. Press into ungreased 13 x 9-inch pan, lined with heavy-duty foil. Spread walnuts in one layer over dough.
  2. Bake in 350°F oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until walnuts are lightly toasted and base is lightly browned on edges.
  3. Remove from oven; set aside. In medium saucepan, combine unwrapped caramels and cream. Warm over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until caramels melt. Immediately drizzle caramel mixture over nuts.
  4. Scatter chocolate chips over top; let stand 2 to 3 minutes. Swirl through chocolate with knife; allow to cool before cutting into bars.
