Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup caramel candies, unwrapped

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a large cast-iron skillet or an oven-safe baking dish.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars together in a large mixing bowl until it’s light and fluffy—about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until everything is combined smoothly.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
Baking
  1. Spread half the dough evenly in the skillet. Gently push the unwrapped caramel candies into the dough, then cover with the remaining dough.
  2. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still soft.
Serving
  1. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
  2. Serve warm, optionally topped with extra caramel or vanilla ice cream.
