Equipment

Ingredients

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp nutmeg
dash ground cloves
1 cup butter melted
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
15 oz can pumpkin puree
½ cup white chocolate chips
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup toffee pieces
11 oz bag caramels unwrapped
⅓ cup evaporated milk

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cloves.
In another bowl, mix the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together. Stir in the egg, vanilla, and pumpkin.
Add the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture and stir just until combined. Mix in the white chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and toffee pieces.
Spread about 2/3 of the batter into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to spread the mixture to the edges. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
While the bars are baking, combine the caramels and evaporated milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until the caramels melt and combine with the milk.
After 10 minutes, remove the bars from the oven and carefully pour the caramel over them. Drop the remaining dough by spoonfuls over the caramel. Return the pan to the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 30 more minutes, or until cooked through.
Allow to cool completely before slicing and serving.
