Ingredients

Bars:

3 cups Gold Medal® all-purpose flour

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

2/3 cup baking cocoa

1 egg, beaten

1 1/2 cups firm butter or margarine

1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts

1 bag (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups)

48 caramels

2 cans (14 oz each) sweetened condensed milk

Chocolate Glaze:

1 bag (6 oz) semisweet chocolate chips (1 cup)

1 teaspoon shortening or vegetable oil

Directions

Heat oven to 350°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil, leaving about 2 inches of foil hanging over sides of pan.

In large bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, cocoa and egg. Cut in 1 1/4 cups of the butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until crumbly. Stir in walnuts; reserve 3 cups of the crumb mixture. Press remaining mixture firmly in bottom of pan; sprinkle with 2 cups chocolate chips. Bake 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in heavy 2-quart saucepan, melt caramels with sweetened condensed milk and remaining 1/4 cup butter over low heat, stirring constantly. Pour over crust. Top with reserved crumb mixture. Bake about 20 minutes longer or until bubbly. Cool completely, about 2 hours.

In small microwavable bowl, microwave 1 cup chocolate chips and the shortening uncovered on High 1 to 3 minutes, stirring halfway through heating time, until melted and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over bars. For bars, cut into 12 rows by 6 rows to get a yield of 72 bars. You can cut them anyway you like or any size.
