Mom’s Candy Bar Cookies

Mom's Candy Bar Cookies

Mom’s Candy Bar Cookies

A light buttery cookie topped with a layer of caramel pecans and a layer of chocolate.

My mom always made these cookies at Christmas time and she was really fussy about them. Some of these would pass her inspection but not all. When helping with these you had to leave the edges of the cookies so they show when you added the caramel topping. Then when the chocolate was added you had to leave the caramel showing. Now that I look back on it I would have to say my mom was OCD when it came to these cookies.

I had planned on sharing these before Christmas but got all wrapped up with Christmas baking. These are one of my favorite Christmas Cookies.
