🧂 Ingredients

1 16.5 oz refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough roll
1 cup salted caramel chocolate chips
1 cup milk chocolate chocolate chips
1 cup lightly salted nuts of your choice, coarsely chopped
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/4 cups Valentine's Day colored chocolate candies {Canadian Smarties or M&Ms, etc.}
1 cup coconut

Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a 13x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper or
aluminum foil, extending over the edges of the pan. If using foil, grease the
foil especially on the sides.
2 Slice the cookie dough into 1/2 inch rounds and press lightly into the bottom of
the pan. Be sure to cover the bottom completely. Bake for 5 minutes.
3 Top the cookie crust with the dry ingredients in the following order: salted
caramel chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, nuts, sweetened condensed milk,
half the coconut, Christmas candy pieces, the remaining coconut. Press down
firmly with the back of a spoon.
4 Bake for 25 minutes or until the edges are slightly brown. Cool completely in
the pan before cutting {or place in the fridge to cool faster}. Use the
parchment or paper to lift out the bars and cut into squares. Store at room
temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for up to 7-10 days.
