Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
⅛ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup light brown sugar
⅓ cup unsalted butter melted
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 bag 11 oz baking caramels
2 Tablespoons milk
1 cup pretzels broken
⅓ cup mini chocolate chips
⅓ cup white chocolate chips
⅓ cup butterscotch chips

Instructions

Preheat oven at 350F degrees. Line an 9x9 inch baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished bars out.
In medium size bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla together until well combined. Add egg and mix well. Slowly add in the dry ingredients and stir together until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Spread evenly into prepared baking pan.
Bake for 24-26 minutes or until lightly browned on top. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium microwavable bowl, microwave caramels and milk uncovered for 2 minutes, stirring once, until caramels are melted. Carefully pour and spread over warm brownies.
Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and pretzels. Cool completely before cutting bars into squares.

Notes

Bars stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 1 week.
