Famous Caramel Cookie Bars



INGREDIENTS:

40 rectangular shortbread cookies

35 individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped

1/4 cup water

4 cups milk chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:

1. Place shortbread cookies on a baking sheet or tray. In
a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt caramels in
water, stirring frequently. Spoon a thin line of caramel
over each cookie. Place cookies in refrigerator until
caramel is set.

2. Line baking sheets or trays with waxed paper. In a double
boiler over simmering water, melt chocolate. Dip cookies in
chocolate one at a time, tapping against the side of the bowl
to remove excess. Place on prepared sheets and let rest at
room temperature several hours, until set.
