How to Make Carmelita Bars

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Generously spray a 9 x 13 pan with non-stick spray.
Press a little more than half of the refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Bake for 20 minutes until slightly golden. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
Melt the Kraft Caramels with evaporated milk over low heat until smooth.
Sprinkle milk chocolate chips over the cookie base, then pour the melted caramel evenly over them.
Crumble the remaining cookie dough over the caramel layer as a topping.
Bake for another 15-16 minutes until the top is lightly golden brown.
Cool completely before cutting into squares.
