These chocolate cookie bars are called “magical” for good reason. They aren’t like your typical cookie bar…they’re much better. Instead of simply adding chocolate chips this recipes calls for a trio of chips. Chocolate, butterscotch, and peanut butter to be exact. These flavors go together like peas and carrots only better because they are sugary sweets.
Check out what my pals over at The Bear Foot Baker had to say about this recipe:

Quick Tip: This amazing dessert is best enjoyed warm with ice cream.
Thank you to The Bear Foot Baker for this amazing recipe.
Am anxious to try this, it looks delicious!
What size baking dish? Do you place whole stick of butter on top of cake mix or do you slice it into pieces?
I would melt the butter and drizzle over the top.
I would mix the melted butter with the cake mix first, then put it over the caramels & fruit. Works much better with the dump cakes. No more dry spots.
Another example of no proof-reading or editing on a recipe! The butter needs to explained!! I have made dump cakes that called for it melted, but some say to cut it into slices or cubes and distribute them equally on the dry mix. I have also made them where the cake mix and melted butter are combined and sprinkled on top of filling. But for heavens sake for the new bakers reading this, give them some type of idea what to do! Placing the butter on the cake mix is not an acceptable way to go here and does not work!!!
Judy, if anyone places an entire stick of butter in all of its stick glory on top of the cake mix they may need to go back to grade school.
Made this recipe, used a 9 X 13 pan, mixed melted butter w/cake mix. sprinkled on top!! Though it is good, I like a lot of fruit in my cobblers, & pies. So I think I’ll put 4 cans of pie filling in it next time. My husband thought there was way too much cinnamon, so I’ll probably leave the spices the same as they are. Happy baking everyone!!!
