My family LOVED this one.

For the bar:
2 cups of Flour
12 Tbs of butter. ( no, you didn't read that wrong.)
1 Cup of butter.
1/4tsp. Salt
Mix until it looks like course crumbs
Press into a 13x9 pan
( line with Foil first.)
bake at 350
18-20 min

LET COOL COMPLETELY
then start step 2

CARMEL:
2 sticks of butter.( seriously your eyes are fine.)
1 cup of Brown sugar.
1/3 C. of Caro syrup
Bring to a boil
Stir frequently till it comes to a boil.
let boil for 2 min.
Immediately pour on top of of cooled crust. spread it around so it hits all corners.

Let Cool Completely. before starting step 3
( I put mine in the freezer to speed it along.)

Chocolate Spread:

1C. chocolate chips
2 Tbs of butter.
Melt down choco. chips in microwave. or double broiler.
( takes about 2 min in my microwave, I stop and stir them alot.)
just when they are about melted and in for the last round of heat add the butter. Mix in well
And immediately spread across the top of cooled Carmel.
Let it cool completely before cutting.

Make sure you have LOTS people to share this one with.. It is about 4 cubes of butter after all!!
