Billionaire Bars

If you’ve been following my blog for a while now you know all about 2 sweetie pies! Today is that lucky day when Liz from That Skinny Chick Can Bake and I do a recipe swap and bake from each other’s blog. We keep it a secret until the reveal day ….today! The bars I chose this month were Liz’s Billionaire Bars. They consist of a brownie base topped with caramel, cookie dough and a chocolate glaze. I mean, what could be bad! They take a bit of time to make because you are working with 4 layers but each layer comes together very quickly with the help of a chill in the fridge. Once these are chilled and cut, store them in the fridge or the caramel gets a bit oozy. Not necessarily a bad thing! I guess these billionaire bars are named as such because they taste like a billion bucks! ha!
