INSTRUCTIONS

Step 8:

Once everything’s cool, grab the parchment paper and lift your slab of bars right out. Slice into squares however you like and dig in.

Step 7:

Pop it all in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Take it out when you notice the edges going golden and the middle sets. Let it chill in the pan before you move on.

Step 6:

Pour on the caramel. Scatter toffee, pecans, and those little chocolate chips over the top.

Step 5:

Mix up the cheesecake part—beat that cream cheese till there aren’t any lumps, blend in sugar, vanilla, and the egg. Pour this over the cookie dough.

Step 4:

Spread your cookie dough right over that buttery Oreo base. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon if you have to.

Step 3:

Whip up the dough: Cream soft butter, both sugars till it looks fluffy. Add vanilla and one egg. In another dish, whisk flour, soda, salt. Slowly mix those dry bits into the wet, then stir in the chocolate chips.

Step 2:

Stir together your crushed Oreos and melted butter. Dump and press hard into your lined pan to build the base.

Step 1:

First off, set your oven to 350°F, line a big 9x13 pan with parchment and get it ready.

Serving and Storage Tips

• If you want neat bars, make sure everything’s totally cool before chopping.
• These last five days chilled tight inside a lidded container.

Helpful Notes

• Use your own homemade caramel if you want a deeper flavor.
• Pecans not your thing? Try walnuts or almonds for a twist.

Pointers from Famous Chefs

• Press down the crust with a dry measuring cup for a tight, non-crumbly base, just like the pros do.

Make Them Your Way

Want to shake it up? Sprinkle on coarse sea salt once caramel goes on for those salty-sweet vibes. Or throw in some dark chocolate chips if you want a richer taste.

FAQs

Can I freeze them for later?

You bet! Just wrap them up real tight in plastic and stash in an airtight tin. They’ll be good frozen for two months. Thaw overnight in the fridge when you want them.

Can I use a different type of Oreo for the base?

Totally—use classic chocolate Oreos or whatever flavor’s your favorite.

What other toppings work here?

Try smashed pretzels for crunch or some melted chocolate drizzled on top.

Any gluten-free swaps?

Yeah! Gluten-free Oreos and gluten-free flour do the trick instead of regular.
